OST Photonics LBO Laser Crystals

LBO crystals is an excellent nonlinear crystal. For frequency doubling(SHG),tripling(THG) of Nd:YAG,Nd:YLF,Nd:YVO4 lasers, it is one of the most useful nonlinear optical materials in ultraviolet and visible laser applications.

Applications of LBO Laser Crystals


  • SHG, THG

  • OPA and OPO


Advantages of LBO Laser Crystals


  • Broad transparency range from 160nm to 2600nm

  • High optical homogeneity (δn≈10-6/cm) and free of inclusion

  • Large effective SHG coefficient

  • Wide acceptance angle and small walk-off

  • Type I and type II non-critical phase matching (NCPM) in a wide wavelength range

  • High damage threshold(18.9 GW/cm 2 for a 1.3ns laser at 1053nm)

  • Spectral NCPM near 1300nm
