Optical materials used to generate cross-polarized waves (XPW) are barium fluoride (BaF2) crystals with z ([001]) or holographic ([011]) crystal orientations. [011] Oriented crystals for XPW generation are available upon request.

Typical optical materials used to generate cross-polarized waves (XPW) are barium fluoride (BaF2) crystals with z ([001]) or holographic ([011]) crystal orientations. Theoretically predicts a maximum XPW energy conversion efficiency of about 35% when BaF2 crystals are cut with [011], while the pulse shortening factor is √3, corresponding to a purely third-order nonlinear process.
BaF2 optical crystals can be used to generate cross-polarized waves (XPW).
