Optical Crystals

BBO (Beta Barium Borate) crystals are utilized in nonlinear optics for frequency doubling and wavelength conversion, particularly in second-harmonic generation (SHG) and optical parametric oscillators (OPOs), due to their high damage threshold and broad phase-matching range.

LBO (Lithium Borate) crystals are used in nonlinear optics primarily for frequency doubling and optical parametric oscillation (OPO). They are valued for their high damage threshold, broad phase-matching range, and efficiency in converting laser wavelengths, making them ideal for high-power and high-efficiency laser systems.

KTP (Potassium Titanyl Phosphate) crystals are employed in nonlinear optics for frequency doubling and optical parametric processes. They are widely used for second-harmonic generation (SHG) and optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) due to their high efficiency, noncritical phase-matching properties, and ability to handle high laser powers.

CLBO (Cesium Lithium Borate) crystals are used in nonlinear optics for frequency doubling and optical parametric processes. They are known for their broad phase-matching range and high damage threshold, making them suitable for generating high-efficiency frequency conversion in high-power laser systems.

The Nd:YAG crystal is commonly used in lasers for its ability to emit light at a wavelength of 1064 nm, making it valuable in applications such as precision material processing, medical surgeries, and scientific research. Its high efficiency and stability enable it to cut, weld, and engrave materials, as well as perform various medical procedures with accuracy and minimal thermal damage.

Nd:YVO4 crystals are used as a laser gain medium in solid-state lasers, prized for their high efficiency and thermal conductivity. They provide strong, stable output at 1064 nm and are commonly employed in applications such as laser marking, engraving, and medical procedures, where compact size and high power are essential.

Ti crystals are predominantly used as a laser gain medium in high-performance solid-state lasers due to their broad wavelength tunability (680-1100 nm), high peak power, and ability to generate ultrafast pulses. These lasers are critical in applications such as femtosecond spectroscopy, nonlinear imaging, and precision materials processing, owing to the crystal’s exceptional efficiency, stability, and wide absorption and emission spectra.
