HGO grows BBO Nonlinear crystals using flux technology. BBO crystal transparency ranges from
188 nm to 5,2 µm, which includes reasonable transparency from
3-5,2 µm for few tens µm thick crystals, while their phase-matchable
range spans almost over the entire transparency range. Combined with other
magnificent properties of BBO, it is favorable for numerous nonlinear
parametric applications. It is worth to mention that BBO crystals have
the highest nonlinearity in the UV range out of all common nonlinear crystals.

HGO grows BBO Nonlinear crystals . BBO crystal transparency ranges from 188 nm to 5,2 µm, its phase-matchable range spans almost over the entire transparency range. BBO crystals have the highest nonlinearity in the UV range out of all common nonlinear crystals.
lMain applications:
1) Harmonic generation (up to fifth) of pulsed Nd-doped crystal-based lasers.
2) Frequency doubling, a tripling of pulsed Ti:sapphire, Yb-doped, dye lasers.
3) Characterization of ultrashort laser pulses by FROG, XFROG, SPIDER, dispersion scan, chirp scan methods.
4) OPA and OPO.
5) Pockels' Cell
Advantages:
1) Broad phase match range from 409.6 nm to 3500 nm;
2) Wide transmission region from 190 nm to 3500 nm;
3) Large effective second-harmonic-generation (SHG) coefficient;
4) High damage threshold;
5) High optical homogeneity with δn ≈10-6/cm;
6) Wide temperature-bandwidth of about 55℃.
