SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GROWTH OF QUASI-PHASE MATCHED STRONTIUM TETRABORATE AND LITHIUM TRIBORATE CRYSTALS FOR FREQUENCY CONVERSION

A method for growing a periodically-poled nonlinear crystal may include placing a seed crystal into a melt to form a seed crystal melt mixture, where the seed crystal may include at least one of strontium tetraborate (SBO) or lithium triborate (LBO), and where the melt includes at least one of a mix...

Zusammenfassung:A method for growing a periodically-poled nonlinear crystal may include placing a seed crystal into a melt to form a seed crystal melt mixture, where the seed crystal may include at least one of strontium tetraborate (SBO) or lithium triborate (LBO), and where the melt includes at least one of a mixture of Sr, B, and O or a mixture of Li, B, and O. The method may further include heating the seed crystal melt mixture to a predetermined temperature until the periodically-poled nonlinear crystal forms.
