Abstract
Lithium Niobate (LN) films were obtained by the Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE) technique on pure LN singledomain substrates in the horizontal LPE geometry. The composition of the films was analyzed using microphotoluminescence technique. With this technique a vanadium profile in the films was obtained and the diffusion of this element into the substrate was investigated. High resolution X-ray diffractometry (HRXRD), X-Ray Rocking Curves enabled to study the crystallinity of the epitaxial films. Further investigations were carried out on the Li composition variation between film and substrate by the Microraman technique. The results were compared with that obtained by Rocking Curves.
