Beta-Barium Borate (β-BaB2O4, BBO) Crystals

BBO is an attractive non-linear optical crystal with a set of unique features, including wide transparency range from VUV to IR. Kriwave supplies crystal lengths from 0.02mm to 25mm with various aperture and coating.
Which are widely used in
1.Second, third, fourth and fifth harmonic generation of Nd:YAG and Nd:YLF lasers
2.Sum frequency of Dye, Argon, ultra-fast pulse, Ti:sapphire, and Alexandrite lasers
3.OPO, OPA, OPCPA
4.E/O switching for Pockels cells 

Advantage:

  •  Broad phase matchable range from 409.6 nm to 3500 nm

  •  Wide transmission region from 190 nm to 3500 nm

  •  Large effective second-harmonic-generation (SHG) coefficient about 6 times greater than that of KDP  crystal

  •  High damage threshold

  •  High optical homogeneity with δn ≈10-6/cm

  • Wide temperature-bandwidth of about 55℃

Key Parameters:
