HGO grows BBO Nonlinear crystals using flux technology. BBO crystal transparency ranges from
188 nm to 5,2 µm, which includes reasonable transparency from
3-5,2 µm for few tens µm thick crystals, while their phase-matchable
range spans almost over the entire transparency range. Combined with other
magnificent properties of BBO, it is favorable for numerous nonlinear
parametric applications. It is worth to mention that BBO crystals have
the highest nonlinearity in the UV range out of all common nonlinear crystals.

Non-Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters also called NPBS Cube is a more sophisticated type consisting of two right- angle prisms cemented together at their hypotenuse faces.The cemented face of one prism is coated. Before cementing, with a metallic or dielectric layer having the desired reflecting properties, both in the percentage of reflection and the desired color. The absorption loss to the coating is minimal and transmission and reflection could be designed to 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, etc.

Er3+, Yb3+ co-doped phosphate glass is a well-known and commonly used active medium for lasers emitting in the “eye-safe” spectral range of 1,5-1,6 µm. As an eye-safe wavelength laser, 1540um ,Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped phosphate glass lasers have attracted much attention for their compactness and low cost, such as laser generation and signal amplification because the wavelength of 1540nm is just at the position of the eye-safe and the fiber optic communication window. 1540nm lasers have used in ranging finder, radar, target recognition. Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped phosphate glass cooperate with passive Q-Switch crystal cospinel can get 1540nm pulse solid-state laser.
