Barium Nitrate Crystals - Ba(NO3)2 SKU: BNO-502
Ba(NO3)2 has the highest Raman gain coefficient among other SRS crystals. The gain coefficient affects the threshold for Raman laser. However, the thermal lensing is particularly strong in this material. This is indicated by the large value of dn/dT and low thermal…
