Notes:

BBO has a low susceptibility to the moisture. The user is advised to provide dry conditions for both the use and preservation of BBO.
BBO is relatively soft and therefore requires precautions to protect its polished surfaces.
When angle adjusting is necessary, keep in mind that the acceptance angle of BBO is small.
Our engineers can select and design the best BBO crystal, if the main parameters of your laser are provided, such as energy per pulse, pulse width and repetition rate for a pulsed laser, power for a cw laser, laser beam diameter, mode condition, divergence, wavelength tuning range, etc.

Beta-Barium Borate (β-BaB2O4,BBO) or BBO crystal is an excellent non-linear crystal for frequency-conversion (SHG,THG, 4HG and 5HG) of Visible and Near IR laser light, OPO/OPG/OPA pumped by ultrafast pulses of wavelengths in the Near IR to UV, and sum-frequency mixing (SFM) into the Visible to the deep UV. BBO crystals is also used in the EO Q-switches for its high electro-optical coefficients. BBO is one of the few practical crystal for use below 500nm in SHG and SFM.
