Potassium lithium niobate (KLN) powders and thin films were prepared from metalorganic compounds through the sol-gel process. A homogeneous and stable KLN precursor was synthesized by mixing the metal ethoxides. Powder gels were obtained through the hydrolysis of the solution by exposing it to the ambient atmosphere. Thin films were deposited on Si, SiO2/Si, and fused quartz by a spin coating technique. The pyrolysis and crystallization of KLN powders and films were investigated through the methods of differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, x-ray diffraction, and Raman scattering spectroscopy. The results revealed that both KLN powders and films could crystallize into a tetragonal tungsten–bronze-type phase with appropriate annealing. Optical studies indicated that the films were highly transparent in the visible–near-infrared wavelength range and could support optical modes.

AbstructWe succeeded in the preparation of strontium-barium niobate (Sr0.3Ba0.7Nb2O6 : SBN30)that have a tetragonal tungsten bronze type structure thin films on SrTiO3 (100), STO, or La doped SrTiO3 (100), LSTO, single crystal substrates by a spin coating process. LSTO substrate can be used for electrode. A homogeneous coating solution was prepared with Sr and Ba acetates and Nb(OEt)5 as raw materials, and acetic acid and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether as solvents. The coating thin films were sintered at temperature from 700 to 1000°C for 10 min in air. It was confirmed that the thin films on STO substrate sintered above 700°C were in the epitaxial growth because the 16 diffraction spots were observed on the pole figure using (121) reflection. The <130> and <310> direction of the thin film on STO were oriented with the c-axis in parallel to the substrate surface. However, the diffraction spots of thin film on LSTO substrate sintered at 700°C were corresponds to the expected pattern for (110).

Potassium lithium niobate (KLN: K3Li2Nb5O15) films have been deposited on quartz glass by Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique using a stoichiometric KLN target as starting materials. By investigating the effects of both the oxygen pressure and the substrate temperature on the structure of KLN films, optimum parameters have been identified for the growth of high-quality KLN films. At 10Pa oxygen ambient pressure, tetragonal tungsten-bronze-type structure of KLN films with (310) preferred orientation can be achieved at substrate temperatures in the range of 700-800°C. Optical studies indicate that the films are highly transparent in the visible-near-infrared wavelength range.

Orange-red lead titanate thin films are examined by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and diffraction. It is remarkable that the structure is based on that of tetragonal-tungsten-bronze (TTB) rather than perovskite-type. The chemical basis for this result is examined, it is deduced that the TTB structure is stabilized by inclusion of hydroxyl ions during synthesis by a sol–gel route involving hydrolysis of n-Butyl titanate.

ABSTRACTMicrostructural changes in sol-gel derived SrxBa1-xNb2O6 (SBN) thin films were monitored as a function of chemical variations in the precursor sol and of processing variations of the thin films. 6000À Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6 thin films were deposited from different alkoxide based precursors under various hydrolysis conditions. The tetragonal tungsten bronze structure was achieved in films at temperatures on the order of 700°C. Preferential (001) orientation of the tetragonal lattice was found to be very dependent upon the substrate orientation as well as thermal treatment schedule. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to examine the film microstructure. Orientational effects were verified by TEM as well as a tendency for a porous structure in the alkoxide derived films. Substrate and processing dependent grain size and size distributions were also noted.

In this paper, a novel and cost-effective photonic platform based on silica–titania material is discussed. The silica–titania thin films were grown utilizing the sol–gel dip-coating method and characterized with the help of the prism-insertion technique. Afterwards, the mode sensitivity analysis of the silica–titania ridge waveguide is investigated via the finite element method. Silica–titania waveguide systems are highly attractive due to their ease of development, low fabrication cost, low propagation losses and operation in both visible and near-infrared wavelength ranges. Finally, a ring resonator (RR) sensor device was modelled for refractive index sensing applications, offering a sensitivity of 230 nm/RIU, a figure of merit (FOM) of 418.2 RIU−1, and Q-factor of 2247.5 at the improved geometric parameters. We believe that the abovementioned integrated photonics platform is highly suitable for high-performance and economically reasonable optical sensing devices.
