Beta Barium Borate – BBO Crystals

Beta Barium Borate - BBO is a nonlinear optical crystal with combination of a number of unique features:

  • Wide transparency region
  • Broad phase-matching range
  • Large nonlinear coefficient
  • High damage threshold
  • Wide thermal acceptance bandwidth
  • High optical homogeneity


As a result of its excellent properties BBO crystal has a number of advantages for different applications:

  • NOPA (non collinear phase matching OPA) with fsec NIR pulses
  • Harmonics generation (up to fifth) of Nd:YAG and Nd:YLF lasers
  • Frequency conversion crystals for frequency doubling and tripling of ultrashort pulse Ti:Sapphire and Dye lasers
  • Optical parametric oscillators (OPO) at both Type 1 (ooe) and Type 2 (eoe) phase-matching
  • Frequency doubling of Argon ion and Copper vapour laser radiation
  • Electro-optical (E/O) switching crystals for Pockels cells
  • Polarization entangled photon pairs generation

EKSMA OPTICS offers:

  • BBO Crystal aperture up to 22×22 mm
  • BBO Crystal length up to 20 mm
  • Thin BBO crystals down to 5 µm thick
  • AR, BBAR, P-coating
  • BBO with gold electrodes for electro-optical (e/o) applications
  • Different mounting and repolishing services
  • Quality control
  • Attractive prices and fast delivery
  • One month customer's satisfaction term
For safe and convenient handling of BBO crystals, we highly recommend open ring holders. Below standard BBO crystals are provided mounted into 25.4 mm diameter ring holder.
