| Application(s) | Over the last few years LBO crystal has become the material of choice for high power laser applications from the UV to near IR. LBO is now the most popularly used material for Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) of 1064nm high power lasers and Sum Frequency Generation (SFG) of 1064nm laser source to achieve UV light at 355nm. |
