Abstract:

Emphasis of our program during the past year has been on improving the size and quality of beta-barium borate BBO crystal, develop the growth recipe for lithium triborate crystal LBO, characterization of LBO, develop BBO optical parametric oscillators, and finally help establish commercial sources of these crystals. Progress was made in all these areas. First, on the BBO crystal growth technology, we have now succeeded in growing relatively large single crystals of good quality see Figure 1. The technology have now been transferred successfully to Cleveland Crystals Inc. They are now the first and only commercial source of domestically produced BBO crystals in this country and our program is receiving royalty income from their sales to support our research effort.
