New Multiple Function Rare-Earth (Re) Calcium Oxyborate Crystals Ca4ReO(BO3)3 (Re = Y or
Gd) and Re3+:Ca4ReO(BO3)3 (Re3+ =
Nd3+ or Yb3+) Ca4ReO(BO3)3 and Nd3+ (or
Yb3+) doped Ca4ReO(BO3)3 crystal like
Ca4YO(BO3)3 (YCOB), Ca4GdO(BO3)3
(GdCOB), Nd:Ca4YO(BO3)3 (Nd:YCOB), Nd:Ca4GdO(BO3)3
(Nd:GdCOB), Yb:Ca4YO(BO3)3 (Yb:YCOB) and
Yb:Ca4GdO(BO3)3 (Yb:GdCOB) have gained tremendous interest for their excellent properties. These crystals possess
large effective nonlinear coefficients, broad transparency range, high damage threshold,
non-hygroscopicity and good mechanical properties.
Nd:YCOB,
Nd:GdCOB, Yb:YCOB, Yb:GdCOB, YCOB and GdCOB crystals can be grown by the Czochralski
method. The first four crystals can be used for infrared laser crystals and Type-I phase matching as
self-frequency-doubling (SFD) crystal. We can now supply both pure crystals and their doped ones.
