Abstract :
The authors report the results of electrooptic (EO) and nonlinear optical (NLO) studies in several thin-film materials deposited on fused silica substrates. Using a transparent substrate allowed observation of the EO and NLO effects easily by using optical-transmission-type measurements. PLZT, BaTiO3, SBN, BNN, and beta-BBO thin-film materials were studied. The material properties and the potential applications of these films are discussed
