LGS Crystal Piezoelectric Wafers 100mm Diameter 0.50mm Thickness for High Temperature SAW Sensors
Piezoelectric Langasite (LGS) crystal wafers are engineered for high-temperature Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensor applications. These multifunctional crystals combine electro-optical effects with optical rotation capabilities, making them suitable as electro-optical crystals in demanding environments.
LGS crystals feature piezoelectric moduli approximately three times larger than quartz, delivering higher electromechanical coupling coefficients, increased bandwidth, and reduced insertion loss.
With lower SAW phase velocity compared to quartz, LGS substrates enable smaller SAW device sizes since the finger width of interdigital transducers (IDTs) determines acoustic wavelength.
Unlike quartz which has limited temperature application due to structural phase transitions, LGS crystals maintain structural stability up to melting point, enabling reliable SAW operation in elevated temperature sensor applications.
