Optical and nonlinear optical properties of orthorhombic BiB3O6
Abstract
Dispersion of refraction coefficients of orthorhombic BiB3O6 in the wavelength range between 435.8 and 1060 nm is studied, nonlinear optical coefficients are determined, and phase matching angles, angular and spectral bandwidths for second harmonic generation processes are calculated. δ-BiBO may be suitable for doubling of lasers with a wavelength in the 1.3 μm region as well as the matrix for self-doubling lasing media.
