Descriptions：
HGO grows Lithium Triborate (LiB3O5, LBO) Nonlinear crystals using flux technology. LBO a broad
transparency range, wide acceptance angle, small walk-off angle, and the
highest damage threshold among common nonlinear crystals.
Most common applications include high-power near-infrared wavelength second harmonic generation, sum-frequency generation to produce visible, ultraviolet laser light, and visible, near-infrared widely tuned optical parametric oscillators. HGO are capable of providing uncoated super-polished LBO crystals desired, e.g. for high-power UV generation via sum-frequency generation of 1064 nm and 532 nm.
Main applications:
1) SHG, THG
2) OPA and OPO
Advantages:
1） Broad transparency range from 160nm to 2600nm;
2） High optical homogeneity (δn≈10-6/cm) and free of inclusion;
3） Large effective SHG coefficient;
4） Wide acceptance angle and small walk-off;
5） Type I and type II non-critical phase matching (NCPM) in a wide wavelength range;
6） High damage threshold(18.9 GW/cm 2 for a 1.3ns laser at 1053nm)
7） Spectral NCPM near 1300nm

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.

KDP Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate and KD*P or DKDP Potassium Dideuterium Phosphate are among the most widely-used commercial NLO materials, characterized by good UV transmission, high damage threshold, and high birefringence, though their NLO coefficients are relatively low. They are usually used for doubling, tripling and quadrupling of a Nd:YAG laser under the room temperature. In addition, they are also excellent electro-optic crystals with high electro-optic coefficients, widely used as electro-optical modulators, such as Q-switches, Pockels Cells, etc.

Color glass changed the spectral properties of optical radiation. They therefore allow scientific experiments and industrial applications where that change is necessary. You can combine color glass filters together to change the bandpass or to increase the attenuation. Color glass change the spectral properties of optical radiation.

Pure YAG Yttrium Aluminum Garnet is a new substrate and window material that can be used for both UV and IR optics. It is particularly useful for high-temperature and high-energy applications. The mechanical and chemical stability of YAG is comparable to sapphire crystal, but YAG is unique with no birefringence which is extremely important for some optical applications.
