Alpha BBO

 

High temperature form BBO(¦Á-BBO) has large birefringence from 189nm to 3500nm. It is an excellent crystal to replace calcite, TiO 2 and LiNbO 3 etc. in polarizers as well as walk-off beam splitters, especially for high power and UV polarizer, due to its unique UV transparency good mechanical properties and high damage threshold. It has an abvious advantage on homogeneity over natural calcite in UV application. The nonlinear optical properties of ¦Á-BBO is vanished due to the centric symmetry with its crystal structure.
