Description

LBO | Non-Linear Crystal is an excellent nonlinear optical crystal for frequency doubling (SHG) and tripling (THG) of YAG(Nd), YLF(Nd), and YVO4(Nd) lasers. Its transmission range is from 0.21 um to 2.3 um and it is one of the most useful nonlinear optical materials in ultraviolet and visible laser applications. In addition, it allows temperature-controllable non-critical phase matching for 1.0-1.3 um, type I SHG, and also provides room temperature NCPM for Type II SHG at 0.8-1.1um.

 

ADVANTAGES

• Broad transparency range from 160nm to 2.6um
• High optical homogeneity (dn»10-6/cm) and free of inclusion
• Relatively large effective SHG coefficient (about three times that of KDP)
• Wide acceptance angle and small walk-off
• Type I and type II non-critical phase matching in a wide wavelength range
• Spectral NCPM near 1300nm
• High damage threshold
