In this note, the preparation of seed, the growth of crystal and some problems encountered are reported. The lattice parameters of BIBO are a =7.1203(7)A, b = 4.9948(7)A, c = 6.5077(7)A, β= 105.586(8) ", V=222.93(5)A3, which were determined by BRUKER-P4 four-circle diffractometer. BIBO is biaxial crystal and the relative orientation of (X, Y, Z) with regard to (a, b, c) is: X|| b, (Y, c) =47.2°, (Z, a) = 31.6°, determined by the X-ray analysis combined with polarized microscopy. The second-harmonic-generation (SHG) conversion efficiency of the sample for 1.064 μm light is up to 67.7%. We have also obtained the third harmonic generation (THG) of 1.064 μm, namely, 1.064 μm + 0.532 μn →0.355 μm. BIBO crystal is free of moisture and hygroscopy.展开更多

The refraction indices of the crystal were measured and the parameters of chromatic dispersion were fitted. The room temperature absorption spectra of the crystal have been measured and compared with that of 0.2 mol/L NdCI3 solution. According to Judd-Ofelt (JO) theory, the spectral strength parameters Ω2 = 0.1776×10-20 cm2, Ω4 = 0.1282×10-20 cm2 and Ω6 = 0.1357×10-20 cm2 of Nd3+ ion were fitted. The radiative transition probabilities AJ,(?), oscillator strengths fJ,(?), radiative lifetime T and the branching ratio β(?) have all been calculated. Based on these parameters, the properties and application perspective are discussed.展开更多

The maximum laser output power can reach 3.63 W with the pump power of 27.5 W. The optical-to-optical conversion efficiency is up to 13.2%, which is the highest value at 593.5 nm by the intracavity sum-frequency Nd:YVO4 laser according to the reported data.展开更多
