BSO Electro-optic crystal
BSO, or bismuth silicate with formula Bi₁₂SiO₂_, is a pale-yellow, efficient photoconductor with good overall performance. It offers strong electro-optic and photoconductive properties, a broad optical window, good transmission, a high damage threshold and high phase-conjugation efficiency. It is well suited to electro-optic applications, including electro-optic sensors, holographic recording equipment, photorefractive incoherent-to-coherent optical converters, thin-film optical waveguides and photorefraction. Large single crystals can be grown, making it an attractive material for spatial optical functional devices.
