Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • LiNbO3 monocrystal has high electro-optic coefficient r33 = 30.9 pm/V, second-order nonlinear coefficient d33 = 27 pm/V, refractive index around n = 2.2 for ordinary axis and n = 2.1 for extraordinary axis, and transparency from 0.4 to 5.5 μm.

    “High electro-optic (r33 = 30.9 pm/V) and second-order nonlinear coefficients (d33 = 27 pm/V), as well as a high value for the refractive index (around n = 2.2 for ordinary axis and n = 2.1 for extraordinary one [168]) and transparency from 0.4 to 5.5 µ m, are some attractive features of this material (monocrystal), which is particularly suitable for applications where electro-optic modulation is”

  • Stoichiometric complex oxide thin films promise ultrafast light control and massive optical parallelism, which classical electronic systems cannot achieve.

    “Current trends in the field of photonics regarding the transition from bulk crystalbased devices to photonic integrated circuits (PICs), and, more specifically, to nonlinear integrated photonics, propel the utilisation of thin films based on stoichiometric complex oxides (such as lithium niobate, lithium tantalate, and barium titanate) since they simultaneously promise both ultrafast light control”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
