BBO(Beta Barium Borat, β-BaB2O4) is a nonlinear optical crystal with combination of a number of unique features:
• Broad phase-matching range from 409.6nm to 3500nm
• Wide transparency region from 190 nm to 3500 nm
• Large nonlinear coefficient(~ 6 times greater than that of KDP crystal)
• High damage threshold(10GW/cm² @1064nm,100ps pulse)
• High optical homogeneity with dn≈10-6/cm
• Wide temperature-bandwidth of about 55°C(Type 1 SHG 1064 nm)
BBO crystal has a number of advantages for different applications:
• Harmonics generation(SHG,THG,FHG and 5HG) of Nd:YAG and Nd:YLF lasers
• Harmonics generation(SHG,THG,FHG) of Ti:Sapphire and Alexandrite lasers
• Frequency doubling, tripling and mixing of Dye lasers
• Frequency doubling of Argon ion, Copper vapour lasers
• Optical parametric amplifiers (OPA) and optical parametric oscillators (OPO)
• Electro-optical (E/O) switching crystals for Pockels cells
