RAYSER offers high grade Czochralski (CZ) -grown BBO crystals with good homogeneity, low defects and low absorption.

 BBO Crystals Feature

• Broad phase-matchable second-harmonic-generation (SHG) range from 409.6nm to 3500nm
• Wide transmission region from 190nm to 3500nm
• Large effective SHG coefficient
• High damage threshold of 10 GW/cm² for 100 ps pulse-widths at 1064nm
• High optical homogeneity with Dn 10^-6/cm²
• Wide temperature bandwidth of about 55° (for type I SHG 1064nm)
• Good mechanical and physical properties

BBO Crystals Have Been Applied to
