LBO (Lithium triborate or LiB3O5) is a very useful nonlinear optical crystal material, especially for SHG THG of high-intensity laser radiation, intracavity SHG THG, deep-UV SFG and OPO applications.
Item: Nonlinear Optical Crystal LBO
Advantages of LBO
Wide transparency,. High nonlinear coupling, good chemical and mechanical properties
Type I and type II non-critical phase-matching (NCPM) over a wide wavelength range.
High damage threshold(18.9 GW/cm2 for a 1.3ns laser at 1054nm)
Wide acceptance angle and small walk-off angle
High optical quality (homogeneity≈10-6/cm)
Applications of LBO
High power Nd:YAG and Nd:YLF lasers for R&D and military applications
Ti:Sapphire, Alexandrite and Cr:LiSAF lasers
Medical and industrial Nd:YAG lasers
Frequency-tripling (THG) of Nd:YAG and Nd:YLF lasers
OPA and OPO pumped by Eximer lasers and harmonics of Nd:YAG lasers
Frequency doubling (SHG) and tripling (THG) of high power Nd:YAP laser at 1.34μm.
