“…Lithium tantalate (LiTaO 3 , abbreviated as LT) crystals are amazing multifunctional crystal materials. Due to its excellent electromechanical coupling factors, acoustic-optical (AO), nonlinear-optical (NLO), and electro-optical (EO) effects, it can be widely used in surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, acoustic-optic modulators, laser-frequency doubling devices, and electro-optic modulators. − Among them, LiTaO 3 -based SAW filters have advantages such as high quality factor, low loss, high reliability, and small size; thus, they are extensively used in mobile phones, wireless communication, radar, audio, and other fields. However, due to the poor thermal characteristics of LiTaO 3 crystals, temperature compensation of SAW filters has attracted attention, and it is particularly important to choose the suitable substrate.…”
