3 The main application of lithium tantalate crystal3.2 OscillatorAn oscillator is an energy conversion device that converts DC power into AC power with a certain frequency. This circuit is called an oscillation circuit. The oscillator achieves free oscillation through the mutual conversion between magnetic field energy and electric field energy.Oscillators are divided into RC oscillators, LC oscillators and crystal oscillators. The crystal oscillator has a piezoelectric effect, and the crystal will deform when a voltage is applied to the two poles of the wafer.

3 The main application of lithium tantalate crystal3.1 SAW Wave filterPeng et al. used ion etching to process lithium tantalate (LT) crystals to obtain a high fundamental frequency crystal resonator. They used this crystal resonator to design a high-frequency broadband filter, which improved the operating frequency and reliability of the filter and increased the number of The bandwidth of the filter ensures the high temperature stability and low insertion loss of the filter.

2.2 Fabrication of lithium tantalate crystal with near stoichiometric ratioThe preparation of near-stoichiometric lithium tantalate (NSLT) crystals is difficult. The current methods mainly include: the double crucible method, the flux pulling method, the float zone method and the gas phase exchange equilibrium method. 2.2.1 The double crucible methodIn the double crucible method, the melt material needs to be continuously added to the crucible during the crystal preparation process to keep the melt composition unchanged.

1.2 Near-stoichiometric Lithium Tantalate Crystal Most of the lithium tantalate crystals currently used are grown from melts with the same composition ratio, which is generally called the same composition lithium tantalate (CLT). However, large number of defects affect the physical properties of the CLT crystal, so researchers have conducted study on near-stoichiometric lithium tantalate (NSLT) with less material defects and better physical properties.

2. Fabrication of Lithium Tantalate Crystal2.1 Fabrication of same composition lithium tantalate crystalThe same composition Lithium tantalate (CLT) crystals are often fabricated by mixing high-purity tantalum pentoxide with high-purity lithium carbonate at a stoichiometric ratio of 0.95:1 (molar ratio), and are prepared by the crucible pulling method. The quality of LiTaO3 crystal (www.wisoptic.com) is generally affected by factors such as raw material ratio, pulling speed, seed crystal quality, crucible shape and type.

1.3 Doping of Lithium Tantalate CrystalDifferent fields have different requirements for the properties of lithium tantalate crystals. When being used to prepare high-density and large-capacity holographic information storage devices, LiTaO3 crystals need to have excellent photorefractive properties. Due to the particularity of the crystal structure of LiTaO3, its physical properties can be adjusted through doping, for example, the widely used photorefractive doping.

4. Experimental Result and Analysis4.1 Comparison of frequency doubling efficiency of CPPLN and LBOThe CPPLN crystal (www.wisoptic.com) we designed has the maximum frequency doubling efficiency in the working range between 15-40℃, so the subsequent analysis will be carried out around this range. In the same fundamental frequency light power gradient, the effect of temperature change on the frequency doubling efficiency of CPPLN is shown in Figure 4(a).

3. Experimental EquipmentThe overall device diagram of the frequency doubling experiment is shown in Figure 3(a). The 1064nm continuous light passes through a half-wave plate and is directly focused into the CPPLN crystal by a lens. The generated frequency doubling light passes through a 532nm transparent filter and is received and detected by a power meter. The self-built LD-pumped Nd:YVO4 continuous laser used in the experiment can reach a maximum output power of 22.53W.

IntroductionLithium tantalate (LiTaO3, referred to as LT), as an excellent multifunctional crystal material, has good piezoelectric, electro-optical and pyroelectric properties, and is ideal for making surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters, resonators, tuners, Q switches and pyroelectric detectors. Devices made from LT crystal (www.wisoptic.com) are widely used in the automotive electronics, 5G communications and infrared detectors, and have broad market prospects.In 1965, Ballman used the pulling method to grow LT single crystal for the first time.

2.3 Lithium tantalate single crystal filmAfter the 1980s, thin film preparation technology has developed rapidly. Currently, the commonly used preparation technologies of lithium tantalate single crystal (www.wisoptic.com) thin film mainly include chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, magnetron sputtering and sol-gel method.The chemical vapor deposition method synthesizes a thin film on a substrate through a chemical reaction and accurately controls the chemical composition of the product. It has the characteristics of low stress and good quality.
