BBO Crystal Nonlinear Optical Crystals - NANJING CRYLINK
Description
BBO Crystal is one of the essential nonlinear optical crystals. Beta-barium borate (β-BaB2O4，β-BBO) combines many outstanding features such as its high nonlinear optical coefficients and low group-velocity dispersion, broad transparency range (189–3500 nm) high damage threshold.
This unique combination ensures that β-BBO crystal is a promising candidate for nonlinear optical applications such as frequency converters and optical parametric oscillators. In quantum optics, β-BBO crystal can generate entangled photon pairs and ten-photon entanglement.
