These β-BBO crystals are designed to produce SHG emission from 340 to 450 nm from an input beam with a center wavelength in the range of 680 to 900 nm. They are available with thicknesses of 0.15, 0.30, or 0.60 mm and feature an AR coating to reduce surface reflections over the fundamental and second harmonic wavelength ranges.
