Characterization of heteroepitaxial Na0.5K0.5NbO3/La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 electro-optical cell

• Heteroepitaxial Na0.5K0.5NbO3(1.5 mum)/La0.5Sr0.5CoO3(0.5 mum) (NKN/LSCO) films were grown on an Al2O3(0112) single crystal (r-cut sapphire) by rf-magnetron sputtering (NKN) and pulsed laser deposition (LSCO) techniques. Prism coupling waveguide refractometry has been employed to characterize vertical capacitive electro-optical cells with 2 X 8 mm(2) semitransparent Au top electrodes. Fitting reflectivity spectra to Fresnel formulas yields extraordinary and ordinary refractive indices n(e) = 2.232 and n(o) = 2.234 as well as electro-optic coefficient r(13) = 17.4 pm/V. Dispersion of the refraction index follows the Sellmeier formula n(2) = 1 + 3.46/[1-(244 nm/lambda)(2)] in the range from 400 nm to 850 nm.
