Strontium Titanate Single Crystals（Furuuchi Chemical）

Summary

It is possible to control the carrier concentration and transmittance by doping, and this product is expected to contribute as a key device for optical networks with large capacity, ultra-high speed, and low power consumption.

Application Examples

Optical switches with PLZT thin film fabricated on Nb-doped SrTiO₃ single crystal substrates can achieve lower control voltage, faster response, and lower polarization dependence, leading to increased capacity, ultra-high speed, and low power consumption of optical networks.

Benefits for Customers

Carrier concentration and transmittance can be controlled by Nb or La doping.
Larger crystals with a 2-inch diameter are expected to enable larger devices.
Crystal growth along with (110) and (111) as well as (100) is achieved.

FAQ

What sizes are available?: The standard size is 10 mm x 10 mm, but we are working on increasing the size by growing large crystals, so please feel free to contact us.

Are Nb and La the only elements that can be doped?: Nb and La are the standard, but please contact us to discuss the possibility of doping other elements as well.
