Descriptions：
HGO grows Lithium Triborate (LiB3O5, LBO) Nonlinear crystals using flux technology. LBO a broad
transparency range, wide acceptance angle, small walk-off angle, and the
highest damage threshold among common nonlinear crystals.
Most common applications include high-power near-infrared wavelength second harmonic generation, sum-frequency generation to produce visible, ultraviolet laser light, and visible, near-infrared widely tuned optical parametric oscillators. HGO are capable of providing uncoated super-polished LBO crystals desired, e.g. for high-power UV generation via sum-frequency generation of 1064 nm and 532 nm.
Main applications:
1) SHG, THG
2) OPA and OPO
Advantages:
1） Broad transparency range from 160nm to 2600nm;
2） High optical homogeneity (δn≈10-6/cm) and free of inclusion;
3） Large effective SHG coefficient;
4） Wide acceptance angle and small walk-off;
5） Type I and type II non-critical phase matching (NCPM) in a wide wavelength range;
6） High damage threshold(18.9 GW/cm 2 for a 1.3ns laser at 1053nm)
7） Spectral NCPM near 1300nm

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.

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.

In optics, a prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light. At least two of the flat surfaces must have an angle between them. The exact angles between the surfaces depend on the application. The traditional geometrical shape is that of a triangular prism with a triangular base and rectangular sides, and in colloquial use "prism" usually refers to this type. Some types of optical prism are not in fact in the shape of geometric prisms. Prisms can be made from any material that is transparent to the wavelengths for which they are designed.

HGO grows Tm:YLF laser crystals using Czochralski technology. Tm:YLF is an important middle infrared laser crystal. Because Tm:YLF is negative uniaxial crystal, whose thermal refractive index coefficient is negative, some thermal distortion may be counteracted and high-quality light can be output. Conveniently pumped at 792nm, 1.9μm linearly polarized beam is output in a axis, and non-linearly polarized beam is output in c axis. The YLF crystals has low non-linear refraction index value and thermo optical constants, which makes these crystals applicable in research, development, education, production, photonics, optic, laser technology and telecommunications. Besides, Tm3+:YLF lasers are ideal pump sources for 2.1 μm Ho3+:YAG lasers. This is due to a good overlap of Tm3+:YLF emission and Ho3+:YAG absorption spectra and the capacity of producing linearly polarized output. What is more, the refractive index of Tm3+:YLF decreases with temperature, leading to a negative thermal lens that is partly compensated by a positive lens effect due to end face bulging.
