Abstract
Potassium lithium niobate (KLN) thin films have been deposited on fused silica and MgO from metallorganic compounds through a sol-gel process. X-ray diffraction structure analysis has shown that KLN films crystallize into tetragonal tungsten-bronze-type phase after appropriate annealing. Crystallization of KLN films has a strong dependence on the structure of the substrates. Polycrystalline KLN films were obtained on fused quartz, whereas oriented KLN films have been achieved on MgO single crystal substrates. Optical studies have indicated that the films were highly transparent in the visible-near infrared wavelength range and the absorption edges of the films are also substrate-dependent. The films could support optical modes.
