Barium nitrate crystals «In Stock»
Barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2) is one of the leading crystals among solid-state Raman shifters in terms of Raman gain coefficient, which is known to be the highest at nanosecond steady-state regime (gR = 47 cm/GW@532 nm pump). Barium nitrate also features a moderately broad transparency range (0,33-1,8 μm) and high damage threshold. Drawbacks of barium nitrate crystal are low thermal conductivity (1,17 Wm-1K-1) and high electro-optic coefficient (dn/dT = -20 × 10-6K-1), which lead to the thermal lensing effect. The crystal is soft and hygroscopic, therefore should be treated with caution. 4Lasers recommend using barium nitrate as a Raman shifter for nanosecond applications. Minimum order quantity: 2 pieces of standard elements.
