Abstract

High-quality LiNbO3 thin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) with a shadow mask. Epitaxial and twin-free films were obtained using a single crystal target without a post-annealing process. The film had a very smooth surface without the particulate problem, which is common in films grown by conventional PLD. The root-mean-square surface roughness was only 3.6 nm, and optical propagation loss was as low as 3 dB/cm.
