LilO3 Crystal (Lithium Iodate)

Crystals >>> Nonlinear Crystals >>>  LilO3 Crystal (Lithium Iodate)

Lithium Iodate or LilO3 crystal is an uniaxial nonlinear crystal with high nonlinear optical coefficients and wide transparency range.  It is used to frequency double the low and medium power Ti:Sapphire, Alexandrite, Cr:LiSrAlF6 and Cr:LiCaAlF6 lasers. In some cases, it is also used for frequency doubling and tripling of Nd:YAG lasers and auto-correlators for measuring ultra-short pulse width.

Notes:

  • LiIO3 is highly hygroscopic. Please keep it in a dry environment, and sealed housing is recommended.

  • LiIO3 is not recommended for high power applications, because of the low damage threshold.
