KBBF Nonlinear crystal
KBe₂BO₃F₂ (potassium beryllium fluoroborate), abbreviated KBBF, belongs to the uniaxial crystal system and space group R32. It has a very broad transmission range with an ultraviolet cutoff at 150 nm. Compared with crystals such as BBO and LBO, KBBF also has relatively high thermal conductivity (LBO: 3.5W/mK; KBBF: ~2.5 W/mK), indicating a high laser damage threshold. For example, under Nd:YAG laser illumination (1064nm, 80ps, 1kHz), its optical damage threshold reaches 900GW/cm² and 72J/cm², almost an order of magnitude higher than that of BBO under the same conditions. KBBF is one of the crystals capable of deep-ultraviolet frequency-doubled laser output below 200 nm.
