MgO:LiNbO3 Non-linear (NLO) Crystal
- Magnesium Doped Lithium Niobate MgO:LiNbO3
-
MgO:LiNbO3 crystal is a LiNbO3 crystal doped with magnesium.
It offers superior performance over conventional LiNbO3 crystals in Noncritical Phase Matching (NCPM) Second Harmonic Generation (SHG), mixing (SFG), and Optical Parametric Oscillators (OPOs) for Nd: lasers.
This crystal has achieved outstanding SHG efficiencies of up to 65% with pulsed Nd:YAG lasers and 45% with continuous wave Nd:YAG lasers.
Furthermore, it is capable of a wide range of applications, including Optical Parametric Oscillators (OPOs), Amplifiers (OPAs), Quasi Phase Matching Doublers, integrated waveguides, and more.
Use MgO:LiNbO3 crystals, which support the cutting edge of laser technology, right now.
MgO:LiNbO3 is characerized by:
- High damage threshold.
- Noncritical phase matching(NCPM)at room temperature
- Broad transparency range
- Excellent E-O and NLO properties
- Good mechanical and chemical properties
MgO:LiNbO3 has similar effective nonlinear coefficients to pure LiNbO3 Its Sellmeier equations (for 5mo1% MgO dopant) are (λ i n um):
no2(λ)=4.8762+0.11554/(λ2-0.04674)-0.033119×λ2
ne2(λ)=4.5469+0.094779/(λ2-0.04439)-0.026721×λ2
Different dimensions of MgO:LiNbO3 with high quality are available from CHEMI.
The AR coating is also available upon request.
