It\u2019s easy to see why it\u2019s one of the most popular crystals in a wide range of domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">Nonlinear beta-barium borate crystal is an excellent crystal for frequency-doubling (SHG) of Visible and Near IR laser light, OPO\/OPG\/OPA pumping by ultrafast pulses of wavelengths in the Near IR to UV, and sum-frequency mixing (SFM) into the Visible to the deep UV. BBO is one of the few practical crystals for use below 500 nm in SHG and SFM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FEATURES OF OUR NONLINEAR BBO CRYSTALS FOR SALE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We delve into some of the most remarkable attributes of our nonlinear <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/Laser-Crystals-and-Components\/Nonlinear-Crystals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BBO crystals<\/a><\/strong> below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Wide transparency (in the region of ~190\u20133300 nm)<\/li><li>Broad phase-matching range<\/li><li>Large nonlinear coefficient<\/li><li>Mohs hardness is equivalent to 4.5<\/li><li>High damage threshold<\/li><li>Wide thermal acceptance bandwidth<\/li><li>High optical homogeneity<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>BBO crystal has broad tunability, a high damage threshold, and a high efficiency. BBO&#8217;s small acceptance angle requires a very good beam quality and its large walk-off results in output beams that are very elliptical or slit-like. Type I is usually much more efficient than type II operation. BBO cannot be used for NCPM (temperature tuned) application. BBO is very good for tunable laser sources, such as ultrafast Ti:Sapphire or dye lasers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBO (beta-BaB2O4 or \u03b2-BaB2O4) is a versatile nonli &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[215],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=693"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
