Raicol Crystals

Raicol Crystals offers various crystal ovens, based on either a resistive heater or a Peltier element. We also offer the required temperature controlers.

Raicol Crystals offers electro-optic modulators based on RTP (with a temperature compensating design) or BBO.

Besides, we can supply super-polished LBO crystals which can be used as the center piece of an electro-optic modulator. With its high resistance to laser-induced damage, LBO is very suitable for high-power applications, and its transparency range is large (160 nm – 2600 nm). We offer highly homogeneous crystals with up to 100 × 100 mm² and very low bulk absorption.

Raicol Crystals offers a wide range nonlinear crystal materials:

• LBO e.g. for high-power applications
• BBO e.g. for UV applications
• flux-grown KTP and RTP with its high nonlinearity, also in variants with high gray tracking resistance
• periodically poled crystal materials like PPKTP, PPSLT and Mg-doped LiNbO₃

Our crystals are used in a wide range of applications, including various kinds of nonlinear frequency conversion and electro-optics, but also quantum technology.

Raicol Crystals produces various periodically poled crystal materials:

• PPKTP
• PPSLT
• Mg-doped LiNbO₃ (PPLN)

With their flexible phase-matching offers, these materials find many applications e.g. in frequency doublers, sum and difference frequency mixers, and OPOs.

Raicol Crystals was the first company to utilize the advantages of RTP Pockels cells for the electro-optic industrial mass market. They feature high laser damage threshold, low absorption and fast switching (at least up to 350 kHz) without acoustic ringing.

Raicol Crystals offers electro-optic modulators based on RTP (with a temperature compensating design) or BBO, which can also be used for Q-switching of lasers.

Besides, we supply super-polished LBO crystals which can be used as the center piece of an electro-optic modulator. With its high resistance to laser-induced damage, LBO is suitable for Q switching of high-power lasers. We offer highly homogeneous crystals with up to 100 × 100 mm² and very low bulk absorption.
