Description

Lithium Triborate (LBO) is a nonlinear optical crystal with a combination of unique features:

Wide transparency region
Broad Type 1 and Type 2 non-critical phase-matching (NCPM) range
Small walk-off angle
High damage threshold
Wide acceptance angle
High optical homogeneity

LBO crystal is perfectly suitable for various nonlinear optical applications, like frequency doubling and tripling of high peak power pulsed Nd doped, Ti:Sapphire and Dye lasers, optical parametric oscillators (OPO) of both Type 1 and Type 2 phase-matching, non-critical phase-matching for conversion of CW and quasi-CW radiation.
