Nonlinear Optical Borate Crystals: Principles and Applications

Purchase this Book

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.
