BaF2 Optical Crystals for Cross Polarized Wave Generation SKU: 540-7130
Cross-Polarized Wave (XPW) generation is a nonlinear third order process during which fundamental and generated waves have the same frequency; however, generated wave is perpendicularly polarized to pump wave polarization. Phase matching occurs over large bandwidth in XPW…
