BBO Crystal

he BBO Crystal is a high-temperature phase of BaB2O4, is an excellent birefringent crystal an efficient NLO crystal for the second, third and fourth harmonic generation of Nd: YAG lasers, and the best NLO crystal for the fifth harmonic generation at 213 nm. Conversion efficiencies of more than 70% for SHG, 60% for THG and 50% for 4HG, and 200 mW output at 213 nm (5HG) have been obtained, respectively. BBO Crystals have been widely used in 2,3,4 or 5 harmonic generations for high power visible/UV sources, and optical parametric conversions for high power broadly tunable sources.

Advantages of BBO Crystals
Broad phase-matching range from 409.6 nm to 3500 nm
Extensive optical transmission from 190 nm to 3500 nm
Large effective second-harmonic-generation (SHG) coefficient
High damage threshold of 10 GW/cm2 for 100 ps pulse-width at 1064 nm
Wide temperature-bandwidth of about 55℃
Excellent mechanical and physical properties
