A lattice strain of 0.3%-1.3% is achieved in epitaxial tetragonal BaTiO3 films grown on (001)-oriented SrTiO3 single-crystal substrates. Our experimental studies of absorption spectra in the range of 0.74-9.0 eV demonstrate that epitaxy produces significant changes in the optical properties of the films compared with those of a reference polydomain BaTiO3 crystal: the absorption edge and the peak at 5 eV strongly blue-shift by 0.2-0.4 eV, the magnitude of the peak at 5 eV drops, and certain spectral features disappear, whereas the absorption peak at 8.5 eV remains unchanged. The observed behavior is attributed to ferroelectric polarization, which is enhanced by epitaxial strain in the films. Our results indicate that epitaxially induced variations of ferroelectric polarization may be used to tailor the optical properties of thin films for photonic and optoelectronic applications.
