KDP Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate and KD*P or DKDP Potassium
Dideuterium Phosphate are among the most widely-used commercial NLO materials,
characterized by good UV transmission, high damage threshold, and high
birefringence, though their NLO coefficients are relatively low. They are
usually used for doubling, tripling and quadrupling of a Nd:YAG laser under the
room temperature. In addition, they are also excellent electro-optic crystals
with high electro-optic coefficients, widely used as electro-optical
modulators, such as Q-switches, Pockels Cells, etc.

Descriptions:
KDP Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate and KD*P or DKDP Potassium Dideuterium Phosphate are one of the oldest used nonlinear materials. DKDP and KDP are known as analogs, though their properties differ due to DKDP deuteration. They both exhibit excellent ultraviolet transmission and high damage threshold. The nonlinearity of these crystals is relatively low, these crystals can be grown in large size. They found their application as nonlinear frequency doublers, triplers, and quandruplers of Nd-doped lasers and as Q-switch devices for Ti:Sapphire, Alexandrite, Nd-doped lasers. The main drawback is that these crystals are highly hygroscopic, therefore sealed housing and dry operating conditions have to be ensured.
Main applications:
1） Laser frequency conversion — harmonic generation for high pulse energy;
2） Electro-optical modulation;
3） Q-switching crystal for Pockels cells;
Advantages:
1) Good UV transmission;
2) High birefringence
3) High optical damage threshold;
4) High nonlinear coefficients;
5) Non-hygroscopic, chemically and mechanically stable
6) Wide working temperature range
7) Low capacitance

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.

Ti:Sapphire crystal is the most widely used tunable solid-state laser material combining the supreme physical and optical properties with the extremely broad lasing range. Its lasing bandwidth can support pulses < 10fs making it the crystal of choice for femtosecond mode-locked oscillators and amplifiers. The absorption band of Ti:Sapphire centers at ~ 490 nm so it may be conveniently pumped by various laser sources such as argon ion lasers or frequency doubled Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Nd:YVO4 lasers at ~530nm. Laser designers are using Ti:sapphire to generate femtosecond pulses to create new industrial tools. A properly delivered femtosecond laser pulse interacts within the target leaving the surrounding area undisturbed. Newly developed femtosecond pulsed lasers micro-machine complex fine structures in glass, metal and other materials. Active waveguides can be written below the surface, integrating optical devices within the body of a substrate. Defects in photomasks can be repaired without disturbing neighbouring patterns. And it is now possible to achieve cellular resolution in vivo for medical diagnosis with femtosecond pulse lasers.

HGO grows LiF crystals in house using Czochralski technology. LiF crystal or lithium fluoride crystal is an optical material with outstanding transmittance in VUV region. It is also used for windows, prisms, and lenses in the visible and infrared in 0.104µm-7µm. LiF single crystal is sensitive to thermal shock and would be attacked by atmospheric moisture at 400°C. When working at a high temperature of 600°C, the LiF crystal softens and is slightly plastic, so it can be bent into radius plates. In addition irradiation produces color centers. Hence, users should take measures to protect LiF crystals from moisture and high energy radiation damages. What is more LiF can be cleaved along (100) plane and less commonly (110) plane. The optical characteristics are good and yet the structure is not perfect and cleavage is difficult.
