Magnesium Oxide Doped Lithium Niobate Crystal
Compared with LiNbO3 crystal, MgO:LiNbO3 crystal exhibits its particular advantages for NCPM
frequency doubling (SHG) of Nd:Lasers, mixing (SFG) and optical parametric oscillators
(OPOs). MgO:LiNbO3 is also a good crystal for optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) and
amplifiers (OPAs), quasi-phase-matched doublers and integrated waveguide.
MgO:LiNbO3 has similar effective nonlinear coefficients to pure LiNbO3 . Its Sellmeier equations
(for MgO dopant 7 mol%) are:
no2=4.8762+0.11554/(λ2 - 0.04674) - 0.033119λ2
ne2=4.5469+0.094779/(λ2 - 0.04439) - 0.026721λ2
Lithium Tantalate Crystal
LiTaO3 crystal is also widely used as electro-optic modulator, with NLO and E-O properties
similar to those of LiNbO3 but higher damage threshold (>500 MW/cm for ns pulsed).
Note: 127.86deg Y cut, Y-cut, Z-cut and other cut also can be provided upon request.
