Beta-Barium Borate (β-BaB2O4 or BBO) is a widely used crystal providing high non-linear optical properties from the UV across the visible to the IR spectral range. It was developed by FIRSM, CAS (Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter, Chinese Academy of Sciences) and is now manufactured by Fujian CASTECH Crystals, Inc. (CASTECH). Castech holds the specialized proprietary techniques (flux-method) for BBO crystal growth, ensuring the steady availability of high-quality crystals.
