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’s main applications:
• SHG, THG of Nd lasers
• SHG of Ti:Sapphire, Cr:LiSAF and Alexandrite lasers
• OPA and OPO
