Abstract
Lithium niobate is well known as a material with a high electro-optic coefficient which makes it well suited to applications as an electro-optic modulator or a non-linear optical element. However it has a number of drawbacks, particularly high coupling losses to standard fibre and low photorefractive damage threshold, which have prompted the investigation of electro-optic effects in glassy materials, most notably silica.
