Beta-barium Borate (BBO) is a very important nonlinear crystal because of the broad phase-matching range and useful optical transmission. It has a high damage threshold, wide temperature-bandwidth, and low thermo-optic coefficient. BBO can be widely used in medical, military and meteorology fields.
Alpha-Barium Borate (barium metaborate) is a nonlinear crystalline solid used in photo optic applications. Barium borate (BBO) is a nonhydroscopic and chemically stable material. Crystallization takes place in two phases, alpha and beta, and the phase transition temperature equals 925±5°C. The higher temperature phase-alpha is centric symmetrical within its crystal structure, whose square nonlinearity tensor components are identically equal to zero. In contrast to the alpha-phase, the Beta-phase of BBO is non-centric symmetrical and the crystals grown in this phase possess nonlinear optical properties.
