Application Fields
HTS and Perovskite Thin Films
Substrates whose lattice constants sit close to YBCO, so the film grows oriented and stays free of twins through the thermal cycle.
GaN and III-Nitride Epitaxy
Sapphire, ZnO, MgAl2O4 and LiAlO2 wafers for GaN-based HEMT structures, blue LEDs and deep ultraviolet devices.
Electro-Optic Modulation and Q-Switching
LiNbO3 and LiTaO3 in waveguide modulators, electro-optic Q-switches and periodically
poled wavelength conversion, where the electro-optic coefficient matters more than size.
Surface Acoustic Wave Devices
Piezoelectric plates for resonators, filters and delay lines, where the temperature
coefficient and the uniformity of the poled crystal set the device yield.
Optical Windows, Prisms and Polarising Optics
Rutile, sapphire and quartz for windows, prisms and birefringent elements across the ultraviolet to infrared range, single or double side polished.
MgO and other oxide substrates for metal, ferromagnetic and superconducting films, in
small lots with inspection data for laboratory and pilot use.
