SLN Crystal for High Temperature SAW
Advantages of MgO:SLN
● Low magnetic field - suitable for high precision and high speed phase matching process
● 20%-50% higher thermal conductivity greater than normal MgO:LN
● High photorefractive damage threshold
Nominally pure stoichiometric shows lower photorefractive damage resistance than congruent crystal; however, stoichiometric crystals doped with MgO of more than 1.8 mol. % exhibit no measurable photorefractive damage at 532 nm to intensities of as much as . This remarkable damage resistance can be attributed not only to increased photoconductivity but also to decreased photogalvanic current. Stoichiometric also demonstrates the shortest absorption edge, 302 nm, and a single-domain nature with low scattering losses.
Typical applications
● Periodically polarized device
● THz device
