BIBO (BiB3O6)
The BIBO (BiB3O6) crystal is a newly developed crystal that shows promising results as a non-linear optical crystal. It boasts a high non-linear coefficient, which is 3.5-4 times greater than that of LBO and 1.5-2 times higher than BBO. This, combined with its high damage threshold and resistance to moisture, makes BIBO a suitable crystal for blue laser production. The growth of BIBO single crystals is achieved through the seed solution growth method (TSSG).
These are some of the key features and properties of BIBO (Bismuth Triborate, BiB3O6) crystals, a newly developed material with potential applications in non-linear optics. BIBO crystals have a large effective non-linear coefficient, making them a promising option for blue laser production. They have a high damage threshold and are inert to moisture, which makes them more durable and reliable compared to other non-linear optical crystals. The seed solution growth method (TSSG) is commonly used to grow high-quality BIBO single crystals with a wide transparent range from 286 nm to 2500 nm, high optical uniformity, and a large effective SHG ratio. Additionally, BIBO crystals have a large bandwidth, making them well-suited for use in a range of applications.
