BiB3O6 (BIBO) Crystal Description

BiB3O6 (BIBO) is a newly developed nonlinear optical crystal. It possesses a large effective nonlinear coefficient, high damage threshold, and inertness with respect to moisture. Its nonlinear coefficient is 3.5 - 4 times higher than that of LBO, and 1.5 -2 times higher than that of BBO. It is a promising doubling crystal to produce a blue laser. The top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) technique is used at CASTECH for the growth of BIBO single crystals.
