Abstract EN
The development of borate-based single crystals for laser and frequency conversion applications is reviewed.
The basic idea behind nonlinear optics and the role of anionic groups in the borate crystals are summarized.
The properties of borate crystals—BBO, LBO, CBO, KBBF, SBBO, CLBO, YCOB, GdCOB, GdYCOB, KAB and LCB—are discussed.
The growth and characterization of several rare earth-based borate crystals are mainly focused.
Several borate crystals are grown from the melt techniques and a few crystals are grown adopting the flux technique.
Many rare earth-based borate crystals are extensively used in device applications as they exhibit the frequency conversion ability along with high laser-induced damage tolerance.
