Large Size LiNbO3 Crystal-manufacture,factory,supplier from China

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.

One of the most important drawbacks of popular LiNbO3 crystal is its susceptibility to photorefractive damage (optically induced change of refractive index, usually under exposure with blue or green CW light). The usual way to eliminate this effect is to keep LN crystals at elevated temperatures (400K or more). Another way to prevent photorefractive damage is MgO-doping (usually at levels of around 5 mol% for congruent LN).

Lithium  Niobate (LN) crystal has excellent electro-optic, acousto-optic,  piezoelectric and nonlinear properties. More and more attention has been paid on its application in military technology. LN crystal has large nonlinear optical coefficient and can easily achieve non-critical phase matching. As an E-O material, LN crystal has been used as an important optical waveguide material.

Pure LiNbO3 (LN) is a good candidate for various optical devices, but has a major disadvantage due to its low threshold optical damage. MgO:LN (congruent compositions) is one of the possible solutions to deal with this problem. MgO doping has played an important role in LN and shown an increased threshold laser beam strength by 100 times. An interesting point is that every physical property of MgO:LN (e.g.

LN crystals are nonhygroscopic and have low absorption coefficient and insert loss. In addition, LN crystal can operate stably in a wide temperature range, which makes them the main EO crystal applied in military laser systems.LN electro-optic Q-switches are widely used in Er:YAG, Ho:YAG, Tm:YAG lasers, and are suitable for low-power Q-switched output, especially in laser ranging. LN Pockels cells can be very compact, and the half-wave voltage can be very low. By doping MgO in LiNbO3, the damage threshold of LN Pockels cells can been increased dramatically.

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.

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.

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.
