Beta-Barium Borate (BaB2O4)-manufacture,factory,supplier from China

BBO（Beta-Barium Borate, β-BaB2O4）based Pockels cells operate from approximately 0.2 - 1.65 µm and are not subject to tracking degradation. BBO exhibits low piezoelectric response, good thermal stability, and low absorption. Due to the low piezoelectric coupling coefficients of BBO, BBO Pockels cells function at repetition rates of hundreds of kilohertz.

Beta-BBO crystal is an important nonlinear optical crystal with combination of unique optical properties, such as broad transmission and phase matching ranges, large nonlinear coefficient, high damage threshold and excellent optical homogeneity. The β-BBO crystal is an efficient material for the second, third and fourth harmonic generation of Nd:YAG lasers, and the best NLO material for the fifth harmonic generation at 213 nm.

High temperature phase of α-BBO Crystal (BaB2O4) is one of the excellent birefringent crystals. It is characterized by large birefringent coefficient and wide transmission window ranged from 189nm to 3500nm. Due to its high chemical stability and medium hardness, α-BBO is fabricated easily into many kinds of optical components.The physical, chemical, thermal and optical properties of α-BBO are similar to those of β-BBO.

BBO exhibits low piezoelectric response, good thermal stability, and low absorption. Low piezoelectric ringing makes this Pockels cell attractive for the control of high-power and high-pulse repetition rate (hundreds of kilohertz, up to 1MHz) lasers.

Barium Borate exists in three major crystalline forms: alpha, beta, and gamma. The low-temperature beta phase converts into the alpha phase upon heating to 925 °C. β-BBO differs from α-BBO by the positions of the barium ions within the crystal. Both phases are birefringent, however α-BBO has centric symmetry and thus does not has the same nonlinear properties as β-BBO.α-BBO is a negative uniaxial crystal with a large birefringence over the broad transparent range from 189 nm to 3500 nm.

Beta-Barium Borate (β-BBO) is an excellent nonlinear crystal with combination of a number of unique features: wide transparency region, broad phase-matching range, large nonlinear coefficient, high damage threshold, and excellent optical homogeneity. Therefore, β-BBO provides an attractive solution for various nonlinear optical applications such as OPA, OPCPA, OPO etc.β-BBO also has advantages of large thermal acceptance bandwidth, high damage threshold and small absorption, thus is very suitable for frequency conversion of high peak or average power laser radiation, e.g.

LBO (LiB3O5) is an excellent non-linear crystal of Borate-family following BBO. LBO has advantages of good ultraviolet transmittance (210-2300 nm), high laser damage threshold and large effective frequency doubling coefficient (about 3 times of KDP crystal). Therefore LBO is commonly used to produce high power second and third harmonic laser light, especially for ultraviolet lasers.LBO has large band gap and transparency region, high non-linear coupling, good chemical and mechanical properties.

High temperature phase BBO (alpha-BBO, a-BBO) is a negative uniaxial crystal with a large birefringence over the broad transparent range from 189 nm to 3500 nm. The physical, chemical, thermal, and optical properties of alpha-BBO crystal are similar to those of the low temperature phase beta-BBO crystal. However, there is no second order nonlinear effect in alpha-BBO crystal due to the centrosymmetry in its crystal structure and thus it has no use for second order nonlinear optical processes.

Nd:YAG (Neodymium Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet, Nd:Y3Al5O12) has been and continues to be the most mature and most  widely used crystals for lasers, no matter solid state or lamp pumped, CW or pulsed. It possesses a combination of properties uniquely  favorable for laser operations. Nd:YAG crystals are used in all types of solid-state lasers systems-frequency-doubled continuous wave, high-energy Q-switched, and so on.

Nd:YLF is an excellent crystal that is very suitable for working in mode-locked mode to obtain short pulse laser. Nd:YLF has very small thermal lens effect (much smaller than YAG crystal), wide fluorescent line, and can generate linear-polarized beam. The relatively small stimulated emission cross section of Nd:YLF makes it suitable for continuous work with low threshold. Nd:YLF crystal has obtained important applications in inertial confinement laser fusion research projects.

Cr:YAG  or Cr4+:YAG (Chromium doped Ytterium Aluminum Garnet, Cr:Y3Al5O12)  is an excellent  and widely used electro-optic material for passive Q-switching diode pumped or lamp-pumped Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Nd:YVO4 and other Nd or Yb doped lasers at wavelength 800~1200 nm. With advantages of chemical stability, durable, UV resistant, good thermal conductivity and high damage threshold (＞500 MW/cm2 ) and being easy to be operated, Cr:YAG is popularly used to substitute for many traditional materials such as LiF, organic dyes and color centers.

Polarizing Beamsplitters (PBS) are designed to split light by polarization state rather than by wavelength or intensity. PBS are often used in semiconductor or photonics instrumentation to transmit p-polarized light while reflecting s-polarized light. Optical isolators use PBS to eliminate feedback-induced damage. PBS are typically designed for 0° or 45° angle of incidence with a 90° separation of the beams, depending on the configuration.WISOPTIC offers a wide variety of PBS in a range of configurations including plate, cube, or lateral displacement.

An aspherical lens features a non-spherical but rotationally symmetric shape with a curvature radius that changes at various points between the center and the edge. Although producing this type of lens is difficult, when manufactured properly, it offers greater functionality than a comparable spherical lens.Spherical Lenses vs. Aspherical LensesSpherical lenses have a spherical surface and the same radius of curvature across the entire lens. In contrast, aspherical lenses have a more complicated surface with a gradually changing curvature from center to edge.

Polarizer is a kind of optical filter where the light transmission depends strongly on the polarization state. Normally, light with linear polarization in a certain direction is passed, and light polarized in an orthogonal direction is either absorbed or propagated to a different direction.For other directions of linear polarization with an angle θ against the“passing”direction, the transmission exhibits a cos2 θ dependence. That can be understood by considering that linear polarization state as a linear superposition of the "passing”and the“blocked”state.Most polarizers act

YLF is birefringent, which eliminates thermally induced depolarization loss. The gain and the emission wavelength of Nd:YLF are polarization dependent: there is the stronger 1047nm ray for π polarization, and a weaker one at 1053nm for σ polarization. Nd:YLF provides alternative to the more common Nd:YAG laser crystal for near IR operation.

Optical Lenses are designed to focus or diverge light and for imaging or alignment in an optical system. Optical Lenses, which may consist of a single or multiple elements, have a variety of applications. Lens forms can be divided into simple lenses (which include plano-convex lens, plano-concave lens, double-convex lens, double-concave lens, cylinder lens, drum lens, spherical lens in different shapes), achromatic lenses compound lens and multiple types.

Wisoptic’s optical mirrors are available for use with light in the UV, VIS, and IR spectral regions. Optical mirrors with a metallic coating have high reflectivity over the widest spectral region, whereas mirrors with a broadband dielectric coating have a narrower spectral range of operation; the average reflectivity throughout the specified region is greater than 99%.

Polarizing Beamsplitters (PBS) splits incident unpolarized light into two perpendicular linearly polarized light. Among them, p-polarized light passes through completely, while s-polarized light is reflected at 45 deg which makes the emitting direction of s-light vertical to p-light. Additionally, beamsplitters can be used in reverse to combine two different beams into a single one. Beamsplitters are often classified according to their construction:cube or plate.Cube PBS are fabricated using two typically right angle prisms.

Polarization is an important characteristic of light. Polarizers are key optical elements for controlling your polarization, transmitting a desired polarization state while reflecting, absorbing or deviating the rest. There is a wide variety of polarizer designs, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

KDP (KH2PO4 ) and DKDP/KD*P (KD2PO4 ) are among the most widely-used commercial NLO materials. With good UV transmission, high damage threshold, and high birefringence, these material are usually used for doubling, tripling and quadrupling of Nd:YAG laser. With high E-O coefficient, KDP and DKDP crystals are also widely used to make Pockels cells for laser system, such as Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Ti-Sapphire, Alexandrite, etc.

Tm3+:YLF crystal has a high absorption peak around 792 nm which locates in the diode pumping range, and also has a cross-relaxation process that provides the possibility for each absorbed pump photon to produce to ions at higher laser energy level. Tm3+: YLF laser is very suitable as a pump source for Ho3+:YAG laser. This is due to the good overlap of the emission band of Tm3+:YLF and the absorption band of Ho3+:YAG, and the ability to produce a linearly polarized output.

Nd: YLF (Nd:LiYF4) is a laser material that acts as an alternative to Nd:YAG. It is very suitable for working in mode-locked state to make pulse lasers at wavelength 1053nm, 1047nm, 1313nm, 1324nm and 1370 nm. Nd:YLF has very small thermal lens effect (much smaller than YAG crystal), wide fluorescent line, and can generate linear-polarized beam. The relatively small stimulated emission cross section of Nd:YLF makes it suitable for continuous work with low threshold.
