1. An acoustic wave device, comprising:
- a lithium niobate substrate having a principal plane cut at an angle of zero degrees with respect to its Y crystallographic axis with propagation in the X direction;
electroacoustic transducer metallization disposed on said surface; and
a surface layer of amorphous silicon dioxide disposed on said surface and over said metallization, said layer having a thickness of substantially 0.42 wavelengths of the acoustic wave in said device.
