In March 2019, researchers from the City University of Hong Kong, Harvard, and Nokia Bell Labs developed new on-chip electro-optic modulator made from lithium
niobate. The modulator provides faster data transmissions at lower costs, and is projected to be used in 5G base stations, to facilitate smooth fiber data transmission.
That was before SEAS researchers, led by Marko Loncar, the Tiantsai Lin Professor of Electrical Engineering, developed a technique to fabricate high-performance optical microstructures using lithium
niobate, which has powerful electro-optic properties.

Due to its availability, widespread use, and versatility, lithium
niobate, LiNb[O.sub.3] (LN), is one of the most promising ferroelectric materials, characterized by high Curie temperatures ([T.sub.c] = 1210[degrees]C), band gap ([E.sub.g] = 3.7 eV), and piezoelectric and electro-optical coefficients.
Here, we reported a series of new material [Sr.sub.2-x][Na.sub.x]Nb[O.sub.4] containing Nb[O.sub.4] tetrahedra, which was prepared from sodium
niobate and SrC[O.sub.3] with different ratios under ambient air.
