Nonlinear Optical Borate Crystals

Bol

From the discovery, growth, and structure, to optical properties and applications, this is a clear and self-contained review of the last four decades of research highlights in this hot field, particularly borate-based ultraviolet and deep-ultraviolet NLO crystals. Written by the discoverers and users of these borate crystals, this clear, approachable and self-contained monograph is the first review in more than four decades to present the research in optical crystal materials, particularly of nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals, and borate-based ultraviolet and deep-ultraviolet NLO crystals. Three major subjects are covered: the structure-property relationship in borate crystals by theoretical investigations, the structural and optical characteristics of various promising borate crystals, and their fruitful applications in a wide range of scientific and technological fields. These research have significantly boosted the development of borate and new type of NLO crystals, which have a broad range of application prospects in rapid proto-typing, semiconductor manufacturing, bio-medicines, and advanced scientific instrumentation. From the contents: Introduction Theoretical Basis for the Development of Borate Nonlinear Optical Crystals Borate Nonlinear Optical Crystals for Frequency Conversion Other Borate Crystals Applications This clear and self-contained review of the last four decades of research highlights in the hot field of nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals, particularly of borate-based ultraviolet and deep-ultraviolet NLO crystals, covers three major subjects: the structure-property relationship in borate crystals, the structural and optical characteristics of various promising borate crystals, and their fruitful applications in a wide range of scientific and technological fields. Edited by the discoverers and users of these optical borate crystals, this is a readily accessible reading for semiconductor, applied and solid state physicists, materials scientists, solid state chemists, manufacturers of optoelectronic devices, and those working in the optical industry.
