Product Details
LiNbO3 crystal has been widely used in optical waveguide and
optical communication technology because of its excellent
electro-optical properties. It is an ideal substrate material for
many integrated optoelectronic devices. Because of the large
electro-optic coefficient of LiNbO3, the half-wave voltage is low.
The electro-optic effect of LiNbO3 crystal is usually used to
modulate the optical signal. Electro-optic modulation is divided
into longitudinal and transverse, and LiNbO3 is mainly used in
transverse modulation. It has been widely used in medium and low
power solid-state lasers.

Crylink
——growing crystals, linking values
We are seller of crystals. At same time, we are producer of
crystals.
It is a long and arduous process from seed crystal to the desired
single crystal, the composition of the crystal changes through
three states and eventually grows into beautiful crystals. We
witness the growth process of each crystal and clearly know
technologies of each step in the crystal growth process, which
means that we can directly provide customers with crystals that
satisfied customer requirements.
We create value. At same time, we link value.
From company to individual, we all pursue the word "value".
Individual is valuable in society, enterprise is valuable in the
industry. We cherish the existence of value. We hope to set the
enterprise’ value as start pointing, expand to the surrounding,
extend the value from the customer to the supplier. Linking
enterprise and the industry more closer, to create more value.
