Lithium niobate (LiNbO₃ or LN) is a versatile nonlinear optical crystal, valued for its strong electro-optic coefficients, piezoelectric properties, broad transparency range, and wide intrinsic bandwidth.

When implemented as lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI), it enables the fabrication of high-index-contrast optical waveguides and densely integrated photonic circuits (PICs), opening the door to the next generation of miniature radio-frequency modulators and other advanced photonic devices.

This application note demonstrates an optimized etching process for LiNbO₃ ridge waveguides with smooth, high-quality sidewalls performed using a SENTECH Instruments SI500 ICP plasma etcher.

The Accuva10 is a fully automated thin film quality control tool from SENTECH Instruments. It provides reliable and precise measurement of thin films stacks using spectroscopic reflectometry and ellipsometry.

Wafers are loaded from standard cassettes, and recipes automatically carry out the quality control measurements.

The tool is designed to measure film thicknesses, control deposition processes by measuring refractive indices of thin films, and prepare surface trimming for filters.

The Droplet Lab Dropometer is a cutting-edge, smartphone-powered tensiometer designed to make contact angle and surface tension measurements simpler and more accessible.

Droplet Lab aims to transform these analyses into practical, portable, and affordable processes, removing the traditional reliance on high-budget laboratories and academic institutions. Despite its compact and cost-effective design, the instrument has demonstrated performance that rivals and in some cases surpasses many established, higher-priced measurement systems.

In this video from Droplet Lab we give a short visual introduction to the tool and it’s software. Visit our Dropometer webpage or contact us to learn more and to arrange a demo.
