LBO Nonlinear Crystal

LBO Nonlinear Crystal

LBO - Lithium Triborate (LiB3O5) Lithium Triborate (LiB3O5 or LBO) is an excellent nonlinear optical crystal. LBO crystal and its NLO devices now are produced, manufactured and marketed by HJ Optronics. HJ Optronics' LBO is featured by Dimension Tolerance(W±0.1 mm) × (H±0.1 mm) × (L+0.5/-0.1 mm) × (L≧2.5 mm)(W±0.1 mm) × (H±0.1 mm) × (L+0.1/-0.1 mm) × (L<2.5 mm)Clear ApertureCentral 90% of the diameterSurface Quality (Scratch/Dig)10/5 to MIL-PRF-13830BFlatness≦λ/8 @633 nmTransmitted Wavefront Distortion≦λ/8 @633 nmParallelism20 arc secPerpendicularity≦15 arc minAngle ToleranceΔθ≦0.25 °, ΔΦ≦0.25 °Chamfer≦0.2 mm × 45 °Chip≦0.1 mmDamage Threshold> 10 GW/cm2 @1064 nm, 10 ns, 10 Hz (polished only)> 1 GW/cm2 @1064 nm, 10 ns, 10 Hz (AR-coated)> 0.5 GW/cm2 @532 nm, 10 ns, 10 Hz (AR-coated)Quality Warranty PeriodOne year under proper use.

Key Features and Applications

  • Wide range of transparency (160-2600 nm, see Figure 1)
  • High optical homogeneity (δn ≈ 10-6 /cm), and being free of inclusion
  • Relatively high SHG efficiency (about 3 times that of KDP)
  • High damage threshold
  • 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
  • Strict quality control
