LiNbO\u2083.<\/li>\n<li>Precise control during the fabrication process results in a more uniform crystal structure and a higher Li\u207a molar ratio than in congruent lithium niobate.<\/li>\n<li>This precise stoichiometry reduces lattice defects, improves the symmetry of the crystal structure, and enhances the consistency and predictability of its optical rotatory power.<\/li>\n<li>In terms of optical performance, stoichiometric lithium niobate exhibits a lower absorption coefficient, minimizing energy loss as light passes through the material and ensuring higher optical transmittance.<\/li>\n<li>This characteristic makes it particularly suitable for applications with strict energy loss requirements, such as laser systems.<\/li>\n<li>Furthermore, its uniform crystal structure and low density of lattice defects reduce the effects of optical quantum scattering, improving the clarity and stability of optical signals.<\/li>\n<li>In the field of nonlinear optics, the superior and stable nonlinear optical properties of stoichiometric lithium niobate enable excellent performance in devices such as optical parametric amplifiers and oscillators.<\/li>\n<li>Its higher second-order nonlinear coefficient increases the efficiency of second- and third-harmonic generation, making it ideal for frequency doubling and mixing applications.<\/li>\n<li>In addition, compared with congruent lithium niobate, stoichiometric lithium niobate shows stronger resistance to depolarization, prolonging the service life of the crystal and ensuring long-term stability.<\/li>\n<li>Its excellent thermal stability, achieved by conforming to the theoretical chemical composition, renders it suitable for applications demanding high stability, such as high-power laser systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_630912353\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
