CASIX offers high-grade Czochralski (CZ) grown BBO crystals with good homogeneity, low defects and low absorption.
CASIX’s BBO Crystals Have Been Applied to :
• Second, third, fourth and fifth harmonic generation of Nd: lasers
• Frequency-doubling, -tripling and -mixing of dye lasers
• Optical parametric amplifiers (OPA) and optical parametric oscillators(OPO)
• Frequency-doubling and -tripling of ultrashort pulse Ti: sapphire and dye lasers
• Frequency-doubling of Argon ions, Cu vapor and ruby lasers
• External intra-cavity SHG
Capability:
Attribute | Commercial | High Precision |
Wavefront Distortion | λ/4 | λ/8 |
Orientation | ±0.5° | ±0.2° |
End-faces Configuration | Flat | |
Dimension Tolerance | ±0.1mm | ± 0.01mm |
Surface Quality(Scratch-Dig) | 20-10 | 10-5 |
Flatness | λ/4 | λ/8 |
Parallelism | 20" | 10" |
Perpendicularity | 15' | 5' |
The protective coating is strongly recommended due to high hygroscopic susceptibility of BBO crystals, other nonlinear crystals likes KPT are available upon request.
