In modern optics, materials with large birefringence ({\Delta}n, where n is the refractive index) are sought after for polarization control (e.g. in wave plates, polarizing beam splitters, etc.), nonlinear optics and quantum optics (e.g.…
Lithium Niobate (LiNbO$_3$) is a piezoelectric crystal with a high electromechanical coupling coefficient. The development and miniaturization of acousto-electronics, and acousto-optics modulation filters, are primarily based on surface…
Optical anisotropy is a fundamental attribute of some crystalline materials and is quantified via birefringence. A birefringent crystal not only gives rise to asymmetrical light propagation but also attenuation along two distinct…
