BIBO Bismuth Borate

BIBO Bismuth Borate (BiB306) is a newly developed nonlinear optical crystal with a large effective nonlinear optical coefficient, high damage threshold and no moisture solution.

Its nonlinear coefficient was 3.5-4 times higher than LBO and 1.5-2 times higher than BBO. It can efficiently multiply the frequency by 946nm and produce a blue laser at 473nm.
