Beta-Barium Borate (β-BaB2O4,BBO)

Core Optronics BBO crystal is grown with flux technology The better internal quality of BBO is important as it has lower absorption,higher damage threshold,an dbetter laser performance. Core Optronics supplies crystal length from 0.01 to 20mm with various aperture and coating.

Introduction :

Core Optronics BBO is featured by
Broad phase matchable range from 410 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 of 10 GW/cm2 for 100ps pulse-width at 1064nm;
High optical homogeneity with dn » 10-6/cm;
Wide temperature-bandwidth of about 55°C.
