BBO（β相偏硼酸鋇晶體)

 

BBO晶體是一種新型的紫外倍頻晶體，具有較大的相位匹配范圍以及較寬的透過波段，其倍頻轉(zhuǎn)換效率比較高，并具有很高的激光損傷閾值。應(yīng)用：激光倍頻、光參量放大、電光調(diào)Q等。由于BBO具有較低的潮解性，我們使用了一種有效的保護(hù)鍍膜(P-coating)來防止晶體受潮。

Advantages of BBO Crystals

  • Broad phase-matching range from 409.6 nm to 3500 nm
  • Wide optical transmission from 190 nm to 3500 nm
  • Large effective second-harmonic-generation (SHG) coefficient
  • High damage threshold of 10 GW/cm2 for 100 ps pulse-width at 1064 nm
  • Wide temperature-bandwidth of about 55℃
  • Good mechinical and physical properties
