Lithium niobate (LiNbO 3 , LN) films prepared from aqueous precursor solutions were characterized, in terms of the hydroxyl contents on the surface layers through crystallization and optical properties. Approximately 98% of the hydroxyl residues on the surface layers of crystalline films were polymerized after heat treatment at 350° or 500°C, whereas 50% of the hydroxyl residues remained on the surface layers of amorphous films heat-treated at 200°C. Highly preferred oriented LN films had a tendency to consist of in-plane rotation by 60° during nucleation and crystallization. Optical losses (at 632.8 nm) were 2 dB/cm in the TE 0 mode and 4 dB/cm in the TM 0 mode of the LN films (thickness of 670 nm) on sapphire (001) substrates prepared from a neutralized precursor solution after annealing in oxygen at a temperature of 500°C (where TE and TM are the transverse electric and magnetic modes, respectively).
