BBO
(β-Barium Borate, BaB2O4)
BBO crystal remains the most versatile nonlinear optical
crystals thanks to its unique
combination of optical properties ( e.g. broad transmission and
phase matching ranges, high damage threshold ) and availability of large, high quality single crystals. Newlight's BBO crystals have been
widely used in second, third, fourth or fifth harmonic generations for high power visible/UV
sources, and optical
parametric conversions for high power broadly tunable sources.
Ultrathin BBO
crystals have also been developed for frequency conversions and characterization of
ultrafast pulses as short as 10 fs.
