Extract

Ternary electrooptic oxides, with structures related to that of the perovskite, are used or being considered for potential utilization in optoelectronics technology [1,2]. Typical applications include electrooptic and acoustooptic modulators and switches, SAW and optical waveguide devices, non-linear optical components and pyroelectric and luminescent radiation and particle detectors. The use of these oxides as laser hosts has also often been contemplated.
