Please contact us for
crystals of other sizes and for other applications. We can provide large BBO crystals up
to 20x20x40mm3 or
ultrathin crystals
as thin as 10
µm.

Coatings
1.Protective coating (P-coating): This is single-layer MgF2 coating protecting
polished surface of BBO from fogging due to
ambient moisture. The protective coating also partially reduces reflection from polished surface
at a certain wavelength range.
2. Anti-reflective coatings (AR coatings): These are multi-layer dielectric coatings. Single-band, dual-band
or broad-band
AR coatings on BBO surfaces are available upon request.
Mounts
For customer convenience and protection of crystals,
standard 1" anodized aluminum (Al) mounts can be
provided free of charge upon request. The mounted crystals may be further
mounted in a conventional 1" mirror mount to be angle tuned for phase
matching ( mirror mounts and posts are not included ).
