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. Over the past decade BBO has become the material of choice
for high power high repetition rate Pockels cells at a very wide wavelength range
from 200nm to 2500nm.
