Fe:LiNbO3 Crystal Description
Fe:LiNbO3 Crystal is an attractive photorefractive material, due to its high photorefractive sensitivity, high electro-optic coefficients, and diffraction efficiency, chemo-mechanical properties.
One common application of Fe:LiNbO3 crystals is in the development of magneto-optical devices. These devices use the Faraday effect, where the polarization of light passing through a material is rotated in the presence of a magnetic field. Fe:LiNbO3 crystals are particularly useful in creating components for optical communication systems, such as isolators that allow light to travel in one direction only, preventing reflections that can degrade signal quality.
