New borate compounds for nonlinear optical applications

Douglas Kessler

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

The borates BaB2O4 (BBO) and LiB3O5 (LBO) have found widespread use in frequency- conversion devices. Their utility derives from high optical damage thresholds, wide transparency ranges, and sufficient levels of birefringence for phase matching a variety of wavelengths. Each of these properties derives from the intrinsic structural and chemical properties of the borate matrix. As such, it is possible that new examples having improved or complementary optical properties and more desirable melting characteristics for crystal growth can be produced.
