Features And Benefits

Theoretically predicts a maximum XPW energy conversion efficiency of about 35% when BaF2 crystals are cut with [011], with an accompanying pulse shortening factor of √3, corresponding to a purely third-order nonlinear process.

Application

We offer [011] oriented BaF2 optical crystals (XPW crystals) for generating cross-polarized waves (XPW).
