SrxBa1-xNb2O6 films have been epitaxially grown on MgO substrates by a
single-source plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD). Exc
eptionally high quality of the epitaxial films was observed as indicat
ed by high-resolution synchrotron x-ray diffract ion imaging. The film
s exhibit waveguiding behavior with values of refractive index and the
linear electro-optic coefficient r(51) close to those of bulk crystal
