Abstract

Highly c-axis oriented SBN thin films with various compositions were obtained on MgO(100) and Pt(100)/MgO(100) substrates. The anisotropy of refractive indices (no and nc) of c-axis preferred oriented films on MgO(100) substrates decreases certainly as Sr content in the film composition increases. The optical propagation loss of the films decreases with increasing Sr content due to the reduction of the optical scattering by the anisotropy of refractive indices. The oriented films show the linear electro-optic effect with large electro-optic coefficients. The coefficient of the films increases as the Sr content increases because the linear electro-optic coefficient is dependent on the spontaneous polarization and the dielectric constant of the films.
