12 Jul 2010 The finished BBO crystal devices produced by CASTON are expected to be as large as 20x20x25 mm3 with high optical homogeneity phase-matchable SHG range from 409.6 nm to 3500nm.transmission region from 190 nm to 3500 nm.Large ctive second-harmonic-generation (SHG) coefficient.High damage threshold of 10 GW/cm2 for 100 ps pulse-width at 1064 nm.High optical homogeneity with Dn≈10-6/cm.Wide temperature-bandwidth of about 55oC.(for type I SHG 1064 nm).BBO Applications:Second, third,fourth and fifth harmonic generations of Nd:lasers. Frequency-doubling, -tripling and -mixing of Dye lasers.
Second, third & fourth harmonic generations of Ti:Al2O3 and Alexandrite lasers. Optical parametric amplifiers (OPA) and optical parametric oscillators (OPO). Frequency-doubling and -tripling of ultrashort pulse Ti:Sapphire and Dye lasers.Frequency-doubling of Argon ion, Cu-vapor and Ruby lasers.External intracavity SHG. |
