LBO

United photonics technology  UPT offers LBO specification: LBO Crystal (Lithium Triborate Crystal)Note: OEM Dimension, different axis angle cutting and coating and damage threshold upon request others are available upon request. LBO crystals is an excellent nonlinear crystal. For frequency doubling(SHG),tripling(THG) of Nd:YAG,Nd:YLF,Nd:YVO4 lasers, it is one of the most useful nonlinear optical materials in ultraviolet and visible laser applications.  Advantages: • broad transparency range from 160nm to 2600nm (see Figure 1); • high optical homogeneity (δn≈10-6/cm) and being free of inclusion; • relatively large effective SHG coefficient (about three times that of KDP); • wide acceptance angle and small walk-off; • type I and type II non-critical phase matching (NCPM) in a wide wavelength range; • spectral NCPM near 1300nm. • high damage threshold(18.9 GW/cm 2 for a 1.3ns laser at 1053nm);                    LBO has the highest damage threshold in all the commonly-used inorganic NLO crystals. Therefore, it is the best candidate for high average power SHG and other nonlinear optical processes. • SHG, THG of Nd lasersLBO's main applications  • SHG of Ti:Sapphire, Cr:LiSAF and Alexandrite lasers • OPA and OPO UPT offer LBO specification: Note: OEM Dimension, different axis angle cutting and coating and damage threshold upon request, others are available upon request .
