Kristal LBO

Lithium Triborate ( LBO ) Crystal

CASTON's LBO Featured by:
1. Broad transparency range from 160nm to 2.6 mm (SHG range from 0.55mm to 2.6 mm).
2. Type I and type II non-critical phase-matching (NCPM) over a wide wavelength range.
3. Relatively large effective SHG coefficient (about three times larger than that of KDP).
4. High damage threshold (18.9 GW/cm2 for a 1.3ns laser at 1.054mm).
5. Wide acceptance angle and small walk-off.
6. High optical quality (homogeneity Dn10-6/cm) and free of inclusion.

CASTON's LBO is applied to frequency doubling (SHG) of
1. High power ND: YAG and ND: YLF lasers for R&D and military applications.
2. Ti: Sapphire, Alexandrite and Cr: LiSAF lasers.
3. Medical and industrial ND: YAG lasers.
4. Diode laser pumped ND: YVO4, ND: YAG and ND: YLF lasers.
5. Frequency-tripling (THG) of ND: YAG and ND: YLF lasers.
6. Optical parametric amplifiers (OPA) and oscillators (OPO) pumped by Excimer lasers and harmonics of ND: YAG lasers.
7. Frequency doubling (SHG) and tripling (THG) of high power ND: YAP laser at 1.34 mm.
