Nonlinear Optical Crystals: Introduction
- Nonlinear optical crystals can produce nonlinear optical effect, wherein light of one wavelength is transformed into light of another wavelength
- The phenomenon of nonlinear optics occurs due to transfer of molecules to higher-energy state. This generates vibrations of all frequencies corresponding to energy level differences between populated states.
- Input waves used in nonlinear optics are magnetic field, electricity, laser beam, or strain field
- Leading manufacturers are offering various nonlinear optical crystal materials including BBO, LBO, KTP, KDP, DKDP, LiIO3, LiNbO3, MgO:LiNbO3, AGS, AGSe, ZGP, GaSe, and CdSe
- Nonlinear optical crystals are used for various applications including healthcare, remote sensing, quantum information science, optical ranging, underwater photography, atomic science, optical communication, and laser technology
