Study Of New Nonlinear Crystal -CsLiB6O10

Along with extensive application of solid ultraviolet laser, specially the nuclear fusion device go up for request more and more high. For example: large size, high quality, high resist damage and high convesion efficienty. to now, there are some shortcoming of the nonlinear crystals-BBO,LBO,KTP KDP ect, as small size, lowe resist damage and long growth period ect They are not satisfing above request So, it is necessary that research new nonlinear crystals continuously. The new UV NLO crystal-CsLiB6O10 (CLBO) have been reported by Y. Mori et al in 1995 (Japan). The advantages of CLBO crystal are large size, high resist damage, sort growth period and slight hygroscopic and very good NLO properties. We report on growth and the UV, NLO properties and application of CLBO cyrstal and compared with other borate crystals.
