Growth and Properties of Large Size CLBO Single Crystal
CsLiB6O10(CLBO) is a highperformance nonlinear optical crystal, particularly suitable for highpower ultraviolet laser by fourth harmonic generation (FHG, 266 nm) and fifth harmonic generation (FIHG, 210 nm). A CLBO crystal with the size of 120 mm×112 mm×62 mm was successfully grown using top seeded solution growth (TSSG) method in this work. The grown CLBO crystal exhibits a complete appearance without macroscopic defects such as cracking and visible scattering particles. A CLBO FIHG crystal component was cut from this crystal, and its UVvisiblenear infrared transmittance, optical uniformity and weak absorption properties were analyzed in detail. The results include that, the mean transmittance exceeds 90% from 210 nm to 1 800 nm, optical uniformity result is 3.8×10-5 and the weak absorption is 90×10-6 cm-1 at 1 064 nm. All of these results indicate that the asgrown CLBO crystal possesses good transmittance in the ultraviolet region, high optical uniformity and low weak absorption, laying the foundation for subsequent research on related applications.
