LiNbO3

Lithium niobate is a ferroelectric material suitable for a variety of applications. Its versatility is made possible by the excellent electro-optic, nonlinear, and piezoelectric properties of the intrinsic material. It is one of the most thoroughly characterized electro-optic materials, and crystal growing techniques consistently produce large crystals of high perfection.

LiNbO₃ perform various application include optical parametric oscillation, DFG for infrared wavelengths, SHG etc.
