Lithium Triborate LiB305 or LBO is a newly developed nolinear optical crystal.
Lithium Triborate LiB305 or LBO is a newly developed nolinear optical crystal.It is unique in many aspects,especially its wide transparency range,mechanical properties.Its transmission range is from 0.21?/im to 2.3 ?/im.LBO Crystal allows temperature-controllable non-critical phase-matching(NCPM) for 1.0-1.3?/im.Type I SHG ,and also provides room temperature NCPM for typeII SHG at 0.8-1.1?/im.It possesses a relativey(dn?0-6/cm) and being free of inclusion Relatively largequality requirements for sours lasers.Features:Broad transparency range from 160nm to 2600nm High optical homogeneity(dn?0-6/cm) and being freeof inclusion Relatively large effective SHG coeffcient(about three times that of KDP) High damage threshold(18.9GW/cm2 for a 1.3ns laser at 1053nm)Wide acceptance angle and small walk-off Type I and Type II non-critical phase matching(NCPM) in a wide wavelength range Spectral.
