More info

Cesium Lithium Borate (CLBO) Crystal is an emerging nonlinear optical material known for its excellent deep UV properties. It is ideal for high-power lasers, optical communication, imaging, and biomedical applications. CLBO offers a broad spectral range, high-temperature tolerance, and high conversion efficiency, making it an outstanding harmonic generator, especially for fourth and fifth harmonics of Nd: YAG lasers with SHG wavelengths down to 237 nm. CLBO excels in UV applications with superior thermal properties and efficiency compared to LBO and BBO. Heeger Materials (HM) provides high-quality CLBO crystals for advanced applications.
