BBO Crystal
BBO (Beta Barium Borate) crystal is a remarkable optical material with exceptional properties.
BBO crystal is known for its wide transparency range, covering ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths. This makes it highly versatile and suitable for a variety of applications in the field of optics. It has a high damage threshold, enabling it to withstand intense laser beams without significant damage.
The crystal has excellent nonlinear optical properties, making it ideal for frequency conversion processes such as second harmonic generation (SHG) and third harmonic generation (THG). It can efficiently convert laser light of one wavelength to another, opening up possibilities for a wide range of scientific research and industrial applications. BBO crystal also has good thermal stability and mechanical strength, ensuring reliable performance even in demanding environments. Its precise optical characteristics and quality make it a preferred choice for researchers, engineers, and manufacturers in the fields of laser technology, spectroscopy, and nonlinear optics.
In the nonlinear optical crystal, BBO crystal is a kind of crystal with obvious comprehensive advantages and good performance. It has a very wide light transmission range, a large matching angle, a high resistance to light damage threshold, and a broadband temperature matching. Excellent optical uniformity, especially for the triple frequency of Nd:YAG lasers.
