Abstract

Lead lanthanum titanate thin films have been prepared on MgO and sapphire substrates by sol-gel method. XRD analyses confirm that the PLT films fabricated on MgO(lOO) and c-plane sapphire substrates grow preferentially with (100) and (111) orientations, respectively. The PLT films with a high La content have a low refractive index due to the decrease of the refractive index anisotropy. The propagation losses in PLT films measured, using He-Ne laser light and the prism coupling method decrease as the La content increases. This is due to the reduction of the refractive index anisotropy and the surface scattering by the surface roughness as a function of La content in the film.
