Product description
Product Introduction
The Bismuth Borate crystal (BiB3O6, BIBO) is a newly developed nonlinear optical crystal. It has characteristics such as a large effective nonlinear optical coefficient, a high damage threshold, and being not prone to deliquescence. Its nonlinear optical coefficient is 3.5-4 times higher than that of the LBO crystal and 1.5-2 times higher than that of the BBO crystal. It is an excellent frequency doubling crystal that can be used to manufacture blue light lasers. The BIBO single crystals we provide are grown by the Top Seeded Solution Growth (TSSG) method.
