In the recent years ferroelectric thin films have attracted much attention due to the large quantity of possible applications like infrared detectors and optical filters. For further advancement a better understanding of its physical properties will be inevitable. Therefore the vibrational fingerprints of thin-film lithium niobate (LiNbO3) were studied via µ-Raman spectroscopy. The main focus of the work was concentrated on classification of the occurring vibrational modes in thin-film LiNbO3 with respect to the crystallographic orientation. Here we found a congruent phonon-mode signature to bulk crystal which permits us to conclude that the realized thin-films are of good crystalline quality. Due to the specific fabrication process of thin-film layers, the realized thin-films were attached to different kinds of interface layers. In this context we studied in a further step the influence of different interface layers (e.g. Si- or Cr-layer) on the vibrational properties of thin-film LiNbO3. Furthermore an angle-dispersive characterization was utilized for a defined classification of emerging vibrational modes and a verification of mode-coupling respectively. Here differences could be found which might be linked to surface related effects.
