This paper focuses on the structure and optical properties of Lithium niobate (LN) deposited on quartz substrate by sol-gel method. The solution was prepared at different molarity concentration and annealed at 500 °C. The LNs were analyzed by UV-visible, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results show that as the molar concentration increases, the films crystallization becomes more atomically distributed and the energy band gap approaches 4 eV. Transmission spectra were taken in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm. Hexagonal structure was observed with good atoms distribution and homogeneous crystallization. There were two phases of LNs recorded in this work.
