BBO crystals
Main features :
- Broad transparency ranges from 188 nm to 5,2 µm (reasonable transparency @3 µm - 5,2 µm for few tens µm thick crystals)
- The broad phase-matchable range for various second-order nonlinear interactions over almost the entire transparency range
- Wide thermal acceptance bandwidth
- Highest nonlinearity of all UV nonlinear crystals
- The high laser-induced damage threshold
- Ultrathin crystals available for few optical cycle laser pulses
- Custom size, orientation, and coatings are available upon request
Application examples :
- Harmonic generation (up to fifth) of pulsed Nd-doped crystal-based lasers
- Frequency doubling, a tripling of pulsed Ti:Sapphire, Yb-doped, dye lasers
- Widely tunable type I and II OPO
- Characterization of ultrashort laser pulses by FROG, XFROG, SPIDER, dispersion scan, chirp scan methods
