* A quite high overall conversion efficiency and 540-1030nm tunable wavelength range were obtained with OPO pumped at 355nm.
* Type I OPA pumped at 355nm with the pump-to-signal energy conversion efficiency of 30% has been reported.
* Type II NCPM OPO pumped by a XeCl excimer laser at 308nm has achieved 16.5% conversion efficiency, and moderate tunable wavelength ranges can be obtained with different pumping sources and temperature tuning.
* By using the NCPM technique, type I OPA pumped by the SHG of a Nd:YAG laser at 532nm was also observed to cover a wide tunable range from 750nm to 1800nm by temperature tuning from 106.5°C to 148.5°C.
* By using type II NCPM LBO as an optical parametric generator (OPG) and type I critical phase-matched BBO as an OPA, a narrow linewidth (0.15nm) and high pump-to-signal energy conversion efficiency (32.7%) were obtained when it is pumped by a 4.8mJ, 30ps laser at 354.7nm. Wavelength tuning range from 482.6nm to 415.9nm was covered by increasing the temperature of LBO or rotating BBO.

1. LBO has a very low susceptibility to moisture. Users are advised to provide dry conditions for both the use  and preservation of LBO.
2. Polished surfaces of LBO requires precautions to prevent any damage.
3. SGopticsengineers can select and design the best LBO crystal for you, if the main parameters of your laser are  provided, such as energy per pulse, pulse width and repetition rate for a pulsed laser, power for a cw laser, laser beam diameter, mode condition, divergence, wavelength tuning range, etc.
4. For thin LBO crystal, SGopticscan provide free holder for you.
