BBO crystal remains the most versatile nonlinear optical crystals thanks to its unique combination of optical properties (e.g. broad transmission and phase matching ranges, high damage threshold) and availability of large, high quality single crystals. Heruioptics' BBO crystals have been widely used in second, third, fourth or fifth harmonic generations for high power visible/UV sources, and optical parametric conversions for high power broadly tunable sources.
