Barium Nitrate Crystal | Ba(NO3)2 Crystal

Data sheet

Density	3.25 g/cm³
Materials	Ba(NO3)2 Crystal

More info

Barium Nitrate (Ba(NO3)2) Crystal is recognized for its exceptional Raman gain, making it one of the most efficient solid-state Raman shifters, particularly in nanosecond steady-state systems. It features a high Raman gain coefficient (gR = 47 cm/GW at 532 nm pump) and a broad transparency range from 0.33 to 1.8 µm, enabling effective wavelength conversion. Additionally, its high damage threshold enhances its durability in high-power laser applications. However, Ba(NO3)2 Crystal has a low thermal conductivity (1.17 W·m⁻¹·K⁻¹) and a high electro-optic coefficient (dn/dT = -20×10⁻⁶ K⁻¹), which contribute to thermal lensing effects. The material is relatively soft and hygroscopic, requiring careful handling and storage. Heeger Materials provides high-quality Barium Nitrate Crystal with stable performance for advanced optical applications.
