Electro-Optics, Acousto-Optics Lithium Tantlate (LiTaO3) Wafer
LiTaO3(LT) optical crystals, a kind of transparent crystal, with many kinds of effects like piezoelectricity, electro-optics, acousto-optics, non-linear optics, are excellent materials for acoustic transmission medium and high frequency transducers. LT crystals can be widely used in electro-optical devices, laser frequency multiplier and acousto-optic devices.
Crystro's LiTaO3 lithium tantalate crystal has >99.99% purity. Find high-quality lithium tantalate bulk crystals, wafers and substrates
Application: surface acoustic wave filter, resonator, Q-switch, optical modulator, acoustooptic switch, laser frequency doubling, optical parametric oscillator, optical storage, high temperature and high frequency ultrasonic detector, infrared detector and optical pickup device.
