Product Description:

LBO - Lithium Triborate (LiB3O5)


Lithium Triborate (LiB3O5 or LBO) is an excellent nonlinear optical crystal. LBO crystal and its NLO devices now are produced, manufactured and marketed by CRYSTRONG. 


CRYSTRONG's LBO is featured by


• Wide range of transparency (160-2600 nm, see Figure 1)

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

• Relatively high SHG efficiency (about 3 times that of  KDP)

• High damage threshold

• Wide acceptance angle and small walk-off

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

• Spectral NCPM near 1300 nm


CRYSTRONG offers


• Strict quality control

• Large crystal size, aperture up to 55 x 55 mm2 and length up to 60 mm

• AR-coating, mounts and re-working services

• A large quantity of crystals in stock

• Fast delivery (15 days for polished only, 20 days for AR-coated)
