LBO for SHG (Second Harmonic Generation)
LBO (Lithium troborae or LiB3O5) Is a nonlinear crystal that offers several unique and very important characteristics
LBO material is widely recognized for these features:
- Wide transparency range (160 nm – 2600 nm)
- Moderately nonlinear coupling
- High damage threshold
- Good chemical and mechanical properties
- For type I SHG of 1000 nm – 1300 nm is free of walk off limitations
- Free of gray track effect
Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) is a nonlinear optical process whereby the pumping wavelength generates a new wavelength that is half of the input wavelength or double frequency.
