Advantages:
- Broad transparency range from 160~2600nm
- Large effective SHG coefficient
- High damage threshold, High optical homogeneity
- Wide acceptance angle and small walk-off
- Spectral NCPM near 1300nm
LBO crystal is widely used broad optical transparency nonlinear optical material. Compared with other NLO crystals, such as DKDP, LBO has 3 times larger conversion coefficient. It is suitable for high power SHG applications because of minimal thermal lensing as compared to KTP.
Application:
- SHG, THG of Nd lasers
- SHG of Ti:sapphire, Cr:LiSAF and Alexandrite lasers
- OPA and OPO, Pockels’ Cell
