It not only features unique piezoelectric, optical and photoelastic properties, but also demonstrates excellent mechanical and chemical stability.<\/li>\n<li>Its outstanding electro\u2011optic, acousto\u2011optic and nonlinear optical properties render it a highly attractive material in the field of integrated optics.<\/li>\n<li>CQT offers 6\u2011inch diameter single\u2011crystal optical\u2011grade lithium niobate (LN) with low impurity content. Doped wafers of other specifications are also available, including Er:LN, MgO:LN and Fe:LN.<\/li>\n<li>The most commonly employed cuts for SAW applications are Y\u2011cut and 128\u00b0 Y\u2011cut, which are well suited for signal processing in television transmission and reception. The 128\u00b0 Y\u2011cut with X\u2011propagation is known to exhibit the lowest spurious signal level.<\/li>\n<li>Lithium niobate (LN) is a ferroelectric material with superior electro\u2011optic, nonlinear optical and piezoelectric properties.<\/li>\n<li>Lithium niobate crystals are key materials for optical waveguides, mobile phones, piezoelectric sensors, optical modulators and a wide range of other linear and nonlinear optical applications.<\/li>\n<li>The largest application of lithium niobate (LN) lies in SAW devices for telecommunications equipment.<\/li>\n<li>In voice and data communication systems, SAW devices such as SAW filters and SAW duplexers are installed in communication equipment to suppress noise and interference.<\/li>\n<li>Lithium niobate (LN) crystals are also widely used in optical applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1962563780\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"958\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Blackened-Lithium-Niobate-Wafers-958x800.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.acatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Blackened-Lithium-Niobate-Wafers-958x800.png 958w, https:\/\/www.acatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Blackened-Lithium-Niobate-Wafers-479x400.png 479w, https:\/\/www.acatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Blackened-Lithium-Niobate-Wafers-768x641.png 768w, https:\/\/www.acatec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Blackened-Lithium-Niobate-Wafers.png 1247w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 958px) 100vw, 958px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1962563780 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-420","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"campaignId":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.acatec.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.acatec.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.acatec.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.acatec.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.acatec.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=420"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.acatec.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/420\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":614,"href":"https:\/\/www.acatec.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/420\/revisions\/614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.acatec.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
