Nonlinear crystals Nonlinear optical crystals are used in many different nonlinear
parametric applications. To mention a few, second harmonic
generation, difference frequency generation, optical parametric
amplification and other. A proper crystal has to be chosen in order
to use it for a particular application. It should have: transparency
in the required spectral range, adequate birefringence for phase-
matching, a high nonlinear coefficient, high optical damage BBO crystals LBO crystals KTP crystals
threshold, and other properties. Contact 4Lasers team for
assistance and custom solutions.
