Description
In this talk I will outline our lab's work on fabrication of nanostructures on a thin-films of lithium niobate. Thin-film LiNbO3 has recently gained prominence in the realm of classical optical and radio-frequency systems -- it is an extremely low-loss and nonlinear material with large electro-optic and piezoelectric coefficients. Applications in quantum optomechanics, acoustics, and photonics will be discussed.
