BBO Crystals for E-O Devices
BBO has significant advantages over other materials in
terms of laser power handling ability, temperature stability, and
substantial freedom from piezoelectric ringing. It has become the material of choice
for high average power Pockels cell applications at the wavelength range
from 200nm to 2500nm. It has electro-optic coefficients
γ11=2.7pm/V
and
γ22,
γ31<0.1γ11
and can be used for Q-switching diode pumped Nd:YAG lasers with average
power > 50W.
