· LuNbO3

Lutetium niobate (LuNbO₃) is a rare-earth ceramic compound belonging to the perovskite family, valued for its ferroelectric and nonlinear optical properties. It is investigated primarily in photonic and electro-optic applications, including frequency conversion, optical modulation, and waveguide devices, where its high refractive index and nonlinear susceptibility offer advantages over standard lithium niobate (LiNbO₃) in specialized wavelength regimes. This remains largely a research and emerging-applications material rather than a high-volume industrial ceramic.

Regulatory Screening

Environmental

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
