Lithium Triborate (LiB3O5, LBO)

 

Lithium Triborate crystal (LBO) is a nonlinear optical material characterized by a good UV transparency, a relatively high damage threshold and a moderate nonlinear coefficient. Unless it is slightly hydroscopic, LBO is an attaractive crystal for frequency conversion, especially for high power lasers at 1064 nm and OPO applications.

 

 

 

LBO is featured by :

. broad transparency range from 160 nm to 2600 nm
. high optical homogeneity (ヤn  10-6/cm) and being free of inclusion
. relatively large effective SHG coefficient (about three times that of KDP)
. high damage threshold (18.9 GW/cm2 for a 1.3ns laser at 1053 nm)
. 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 1300 nm

KTP

 

 

 

KTP(KTiOPO4) is a nonlinear optical crystal, which possesses excellent nonlinear and electro-optic properties. It has large nonlinear optical coefficients and wide angular bandwidth and small walk-off angle, etc, which make it suit for various nonlinear optical and wave guide application.

 

Due to very high effective nonlinearity (deff~8.3 x d36(KDP) at 1.06Л) and excellent optical properties KTP perfectly suits as lasing material in various applications. The phase matching range of KTP crystal lies in 0.99-3.3Л region. This allows to use KTP as an intracavity and extracavity frequency doubler for the most commonly used lasers, such as Nd:YAG, Nd:Glass and Nd:YLF.
