Book Description
Integrated lithium niobate (LiNbO$sb3$) thin films are of technical interest for frequency doubling and a variety of efficient photonic circuit element applications. Solution deposition of such films on near lattice-matched substrates has been conducted, allowing low temperature processing, stoichiometry control, doping capability, and waveguiding analysis of heteroepitaxial thin layers. The structural evolution, optical properties, and device patterning of such films are reported in this thesis. Films deposited on lattice matched substrates were crystallized at low temperatures ($
