BBO crystals

• Good mechanical and physical properties

• Broad phase-matchable second-harmonic-generation (SHG) range from 409.6 nm to 3500 nm

• Wide transmission region from 190 nm to 3500 nm

• Large effective SHG coefficient

• High damage threshold of 10 GW/cm2 for 100 ps pulse-width at 1064 nm

• High optical homogeneity with Δn=10-6/cm

• Wide temperature-bandwidth of about 55℃ (for type I SHG 1064 nm)

 

 Typical Applications

• Second, third, fourth and fifth harmonic generation of Nd:YAG and Nd:YLF laser

• Frequency-doubling, -tripling and -mixing of Dye lasers

• Second, third and fourth harmonic generation of Ti:Sapphire and Alexandrite lasers

• Optical parametric amplifier (OPA) and optical parametric oscillators (OPO)

• Frequency-doubling of Argon ion, Cu-vapor and Ruby lasers

• Research and development for advanced laser techniques, including all-solid state wide-tunable lasers, ultrafast pulse lasers, and DUV  lasers
