This new non-linear crystal
Cesium Lithium Borate (CsLiB6O10 or CLBO) suits well for UV applications
and generates the 4th. and 5th. harmonics of the Nd:YAG fundamental
laser wavelength. CLBO is transparent down to 190 nm and can be
phase matched for type-II SHG to 640 nm and type-I to 477 nm.
CLBO is more readily grown than BBO as it melts congruently and
it can be grown directly from the melt which eliminates the scatter
seen in BBO due to the flux inclusions. CLBO has excellent non-linear
optical properties - larger angular and spectral bandwidths than
BBO. It also has a lower deff than BBO, but a smaller walk-off
angle and high damage threshold: 26 GW/cm2, twice that of BBO.
APPLICATIONS:
• generation highest harmonics (SHG, THG,
4HG, 5HG) of laser radiation YAG : Nd3+
• generation second, third lasers harmonics
