Drawing on over 40 years of experience in the design and manufacture of high precision equipment for the sophisticated and diverse world of materials processing, Logitech has developed a fully integrated machine-technology package for the processing of Electro-Optic materials such as Lithium Niobate, Lithium Tantalate, Bismuth Silicon Oxide, barium Titanate to precise tolerances with scratch-free surface finishes.

Our flexible systems will integrate into your total fabrication programme, offering a quick and reliable route to success in the final preparation of your electro-optics material samples.

A fabrication process for a typical electro-optic device such as an optical phase modulator breaks down into 7 stages:

• Manufacturing and opientation of the crystal.
• Slicing the wafer from the crystal boule with an annular diamond saw.
• Smooth lapping of both wafer faces and polishing of one or both faces to defect-free quality (sun nm Ra) .
• Cutting of substrates from the polished wafer.
• Forming of optical guide channels on the polished surface of the substrate e.g. by diffusion of a Ti strip.
