Description
The LiIO₃ (Lithium Iodate) nonlinear crystal is a negative uniaxial crystal renowned for its high nonlinear optical coefficient, broad transparency range (280–4000 nm), and resistance to radiation damage. These properties make it ideal for applications such as second and third harmonic generation, parametric oscillation, and frequency mixing in medium to low-power lasers. Additionally, LiIO₃ is utilized in manufacturing narrow-pulse and broadband ultrasonic transducers, with significant applications in aerospace, chemical, metallurgical, and petroleum industries.
Crystrong offers mass production capabilities of LiIO₃ crystals, available in various shapes including slabs, cylinders, and Brewster ends. Customization options such as AR, BBAR, and P-coatings are available, optimized for specific pump wavelengths. The crystals are subjected to stringent quality controls, ensuring high flatness (λ/8 @633nm), low wavefront distortion, and excellent surface quality (10-5). With dimension tolerances of ±0.1mm and clear aperture over 90% of the central area, these crystals meet the rigorous demands of advanced laser systems.
