PPLN
Lithium Niobate Crystals are among the most widely used nonlinear optical materials, offering a cost-effective solution for frequency conversion applications, particularly in the infrared (IR) spectrum. They are commonly employed in processes such as Second Harmonic Generation (SHG), Optical Parametric Oscillation (OPO), and Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion (SPDC) for quantum applications. Raicol also provides custom poling solutions to meet diverse application needs.
These crystals boast exceptional transparency across a broad wavelength range, enabling efficient light transmission from 350 nm to 5200 nm, making them highly suitable for various optical applications.
Periodically Poled Lithium Niobate (PPLN) specifically excels in frequency conversion applications within the visible and mid-infrared regions. Its outstanding features include:
- High Nonlinear Coefficient: Ensures effective frequency conversion.
- High Conversion Efficiency: Maximizes output and performance in laser systems.
- Compact Design: Ideal for low-power solid-state laser systems.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Provides an excellent balance of performance and affordability, making it a preferred choice for small-scale laser systems.
