Beta Barium Borate - BBO is a nonlinear optical crystal with combination of a number of unique features:
As a result of its excellent properties BBO crystal has a number of advantages for different applications:
NOPA (non collinear phase matching OPA) with fsec NIR pulses
Harmonics generation (up to fifth) of Nd:YAG and Nd:YLF lasers
Frequency conversion crystals for frequency doubling and tripling of ultrashort pulse Ti:Sapphire and Dye lasers
Optical parametric oscillators (OPO) at both Type 1 (ooe) and Type 2 (eoe) phase-matching
Frequency doubling of Argon ion and Copper vapour laser radiation
Electro-optical (E/O) switching crystals for Pockels cells
Polarization entangled photon pairs generation
LASERTEC offers:
BBO Crystal aperture up to 22×
BBO Crystal length up to
Thin BBO crystals down to 5 µm thick AR, BBAR, P-coating
BBO with gold electrodes for electro-optical (e/o) applications
Different mounting and repolishing services
