BIBO Nonlinear Crystal
BIBO Nonlinear Crystal
Bismuth Triborate (BiB3O6 or BIBO) is a newly developed nonlinear optical crystal. It possesses large effective nonlinear coefficient, high damage threshold and inertness with respect to moisture. Its nonlinear coefficient is 3.5-4 times higher than that of LBO, 1.5-2 times higher than that of BBO. It is a promising doubling crystal to produce blue laser. The top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) technique is used at HJ Optronics for the growth of BIBO single crystals.
