BBO nonlinear crystalsBeta Barium Borate ( β-BaB2O4 ), or BBO, is one of the most usefulnonlinear optical crystal materials. Features:Broad optical transparency range (190 to 3500 nm)Large nonlinear coefficients (deff = 1.94 pm/V for Type I SHG of 1064 nm)High optical homogeneity (δn ~ 10-6)Large birefringence (no-ne= 0.115 @ 1064 nm) ? Excellent resistance to thermal fractureHigh laser damage threshold (5 GW/cm2 @ 1064 nm with 10 ns pulses).Applications
