LBO crystal (Lithium triborate) is a non-linear optical material of choice for frequency converting high power lasers with its following main features:
High bulk damage threshold
Small walk-off angle
Non-critically phase-matched SHG possible at a large range of near-infrared wavelengths
High transparency in the UV, making it the best option for THG 355nm or THG 343nm
Possibility of sum-frequency generation of DUV wavelengths
What makes us different:
Ultra-low bulk absorption : <2ppm/cm@1064nm
Outstanding polishing and coating quality, enabling a 300W UV-laser
Long lifetime under UV-exposure: 10.000+ hours at 30W on one single spot
Coating damage thresholds >40J/cm²@1064nm, 10ns for dual-AR coating
Available size up to 100x100mm²; length up to 100mm
