BIBO (Bismuth Borate) – Laser Crystal – Nonlinear Crystal – Customized Products

BiB3O6(Bismuth Borate),abbreviated as BIBO,as a new type of nonlinear optical crystal, not only has the characteristics of no deliquescence, stable physical and chemical properties, high threshold of optical damage, large bifolding rate, and sensitive change of phase matching wavelength with angle, but also has the outstanding advantage that the effective nonlinear coefficient deff can reach 3.32 pm/V, which is higher than the BBO and LBO crystals that are commonly used nowadays, and its conversion efficiency can reach nearly 70% in 1064 nm out-of-cavity frequency doubling experiments. BIBO crystals can be used not only as high-efficiency frequency doubling and frequency summing devices, but also have broad application prospects in the field of optical parametric oscillation (OPO).
