Bismuth silicon oxide (BSO) crystals are high-efficiency photoconductors with low dark conductivity that can accumulate large photoinduced space charges. We offer various specifications of BSO crystals. BSO crystals are grown by a modified Czochralski method and are available in pore sizes up to 3 inches in diameter.

High electro-optic coefficient (r41 = 5 pm/V); high phase conjugation efficiency
Huge photoconductivity and electro-optic properties make BSO crystals attractive in a range of applications: spatial light modulators, optical switches, phase conjugate mixers.
