BIBO(BiB3O6)is a newly developed nonlinear Optical Crystal. It posssses large effective nonlinear coefficient,high damage threshold and inertness with respect to moisture. Its nonlinear coefficient is 3.5-4 times higher than that LBO,1.5-2 times higher than that of BBO. It is a promising doubling crystal to produce blue laser. The top-seeded solution growth(TSSG) technique is used at CASTECH for the growth of BIBO single crystals.
