Lithium Tri-borate (LBO) is one of the most useful nonlinear optical materials, not just for its relatively large conversion coefficient - 3x that of KDP, but also for its excellent physical properties. GAMDAN LBO offers: • Exceptionally low 31.8J/cm2 @ 355nm on Single Layer AR (SLAR) coated UV exit surface. • LiDT of >94.9J/cm2 @ 355nm on super-polished surface • Size up to 60x60mm2 cross section, or 100mm in length depending on the orientation.

GAMDAN Optics offers large quantity z-cut BBO crystals for use in BBO Pockels Cells. BBO is a popular nonlinear optical crystal for frequency conversion. BBO has also been used as electro-optic (E-O) Q-Switch material. BBO is a good material for use as an E-O Q-Switch for Er:Glass lasers because of its low insertion losses at 1.54µm and its high laser damage threshold (5GW/cm2, 10 ns). As an added benefit, BBO does not exhibit a piezoelectric effect. All these advantages make BBO an attractive...

SK-1300 is extremely high in purity and much lower in OH content than the traditional direct method, thus making it the first synthetic fused silica usable in the semiconductor and liquid crystal display industries. SK-1300 is the state-of-the-art technology in optical characteristics because it provides a high ultraviolet transmission, no micro inclusion and a solarization resistance, in addition to heat resistance, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance. These products can be used in a...

GAMDAN Optics hydrothermally grown KTP offers: • Exceptionally low absorption (fully calibrated) <10ppm/cm @1064nm, <300ppm/cm@532nm • Excellent Homogeneity, wavefront distortion (WFD) of < λ/10 @633nm • UV grade super polish for optimal high-power performance, Roughness: <3Ǻ, Scratch/Dig (S/D) of 0/0 • Exceptional performance in long pulse high power medical lasers In addition to KTP’s intrinsic features… • Efficient frequency conversion for 1064nm to 532nm • Large nonlinear optical...

Nd:YVO4 crystals are widely used as laser materials for diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers to yield stable and powerful infrared lasers. Nd:YVO4 has the following features: ▪ Large, stimulated emission cross-section at lasing wavelengths. ▪ Shorter pulse widths at higher repetition rates at 1.064µm and at 1.3µm. ▪ High absorption over a wide pumping wavelength bandwidth. ▪ Low dependency on pumping wavelength. ▪ Natural birefringence which typically makes strain-induced depolarization...
