Yl. Lu et al., FABRICATION AND OPTICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF PB(MG1 3NB2/3)O-3-PBTIO3 PLANAR THIN-FILM OPTICAL WAVE-GUIDES/, Applied physics letters, 72(23), 1998, pp. 2927-2929
Highly (110)-oriented and (100) nearly epitaxial 0.7PMN-0.3PT thin fil
ms were deposited on (1012) sapphire and (100) LaAlO3 substrates, resp
ectively, using a dip-coating method. Optical waveguide characterizati
on and electro-optic effect measurements of the film on sapphire subst
rate were demonstrated. Low propagation loss of 4.1 dB/cm and high qua
dratic electro-optic coefficient of 0.75 x 10(-16) (m/V)(2) were obtai
ned at wavelength of 632.8 nm. Epitaxial PMN-PT thin films will be sui
table for integrated optic devices. (C) 1998 American Institute of Phy
