Introduction
BIBO (BiB3O6) is a newly developed Nonlinear Optical Crystal. It has advanced characteristic for the NLO application broad transparency range from 286nm to 2500nm;
- large effective SHG coefficient (about 9 times that of KDP);
- Wide temperature-bandwidth
- Inertness with respect to moisture
