High Temperature form BBO (a-BaB2O4) is a negative uniaxial crystal. Following exceptional properties make it a very important nonlinear crystal:

Advantages:

      Broad phase-matching range from 410 nm to 3500 nm

      Useful optical transmission from 190 nm to 3500 nm

      High optical homogeneity with dn » 10-6/cm

     Wide temperature-bandwidth of about 55 degree

      High damage threshold of 10 GW/cm2 for 100ps pulse-width at 1064nm

     Low thermo-optic coefficient

Applications:

        Second, third, fourth and fifth harmonic generation of Nd doping lasers

        Frequency double, tripling and mixing of dye and Ti :Sapphire lasersl

        Optical parametric amplifier (OPA) and optical parametric oscillators (OPO)

        Frequency double, tripling and mixing of Dye and Ti :Sapphire lasers

        Frequency-doubling of Argon ion, Cu-vapor and Ruby lasers

        Research and development for advanced laser techniques, including all-solid state wide-tunable lasers, ultrafast pulse lasers, and DUV lasers.
