Abstract

Initial results of the waveguiding properties of KNbO3 thin films are presented. The refractive indices of epitaxial films deposited on single crystal magnesium oxide substrates have been measured. Additionally, these films have been used as the basis for modelling a potassium niobate thin film phase modulator. Results of the model are compared with existing technology.
