Abstract
A thin film of a perovskite-type transparent potassium niobate formed on an amorphous substrate. The thin film of a perovskite-type potassium niobate has excellent transparency, can be (110) oriented, and can be used for optical devices, such as an optical waveguide, a second harmonic generating device, and an optical switching device. The amorphous substrate is a glass substrate or a composite amorphous substrate comprising an amorphous layer which contains at least one element selected from the group consisting of alkaline earth metal elements, rare earth elements, Bi, Pb, Nb, Co, Ni, and W.
