Other single crystals

Tellurium Dioxide Crystal (TeO₂) is one of the best Acousto-Optic crystals even grown, and extensively used in AO modulators, deflectors, AO tunable filters (AOTFs), laser Q-switches, RF spectrum analyzers

Strict quality control

Very competitive prices

Good UV transmission KDP crystal NLO crystals for Q switch

Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate, known as KDP crystal (KH₂PO₄), and its isomorphic crystals, deuterated KDP, known as KD*P or DKDP crystal (KD₂PO₄), Ammonium Dihydrogen Phosphate, known as ADP crystal (NH₄H₂PO₄) are widely used in frequency doubling, frequency tripling and frequency quadrupling of Nd-doped laser systems, as well as the electro-optical modulators. DKDP is mainly used in Pockels Cells, and ADP is also used in Acousto-Optical devices

High optical damage threshold

High birefringence

High nonlinear coefficients

Applications: Laser frequency conversion – harmonic generation for high pulse energy, Electro-optical modulation, Q-switching crystal for pockels cells

BBO is very good for tunable laser sources, such as ultrafast Ti: Sapphire or dye lasers. And it is also widely used for SHG, 3HG, 4HG, and autocorrelation of femtosecond and picosecond Ti: Sapphire lasers; SHG, 3HG, 4HG, 5HG of YAG lasers at 1064nm and 1320nm to yield output of 212-660nm; SHG of tunable dye or solid-state laser sources from 410-750nm to yield output of 205-375nm, SFM of dye laser and YAG harmonics to yield output of 189-400nm

Large nonlinear optical coefficients

Wide transparency ranges

Wide phase matching ranges

DFM (difference-frequency mixing) from the visible to the IR range up to over 3000nm; OPO pumped with SHG or 3HG of YAG or Ti: Sapphire with an output range of 400-3000; Intracavity SHG of Argon ion lasers (488, 514nm) or Copper vapor lasers (510nm, 578nm)
