CASIX Introduces alpha-BBO Crystals for Precision Optics; Used for High Power and UV Polarizer Applications.


FUZHOU, China -- CASIX, Inc., a leading manufacturer of high quality crystal and precision optics products, announced the introduction of its alpha-BBO (a-BBO) crystals. Because of their unique UV transparency, good mechanical properties and high damage threshold, a-BBO crystals can be fabricated into many kinds of fine optical components, such as prisms, optical isolators, beam displacers and other components requiring high power and a UV polarizer polarizer

an appliance for polarizing light.

CASIX's a-BBO crystals have a large birefringent An optical property of a material that causes the polarizations of light to travel at different speeds. See dispersion.  coefficient and wide transmission window range from 189 nanometers to 3500 nanometers. Their high chemical stability, lower inner stress, medium hardness and UV transparency make them an excellent crystal replacement for calcite calcite (kăl`sīt), very widely distributed mineral, commonly white or colorless, but appearing in a great variety of colors owing to impurities. , YVO YVO Youth Vote Overseas (4), TiO(2), LiNbO(3) and other such components. Compared with natural calcite crystals, whose practical applications are often limited due to their lack of optical homogeneity, small size and cleavability, a-BBO crystals have high optical quality and can reach a size of theta (70 tilde A symbol used in Windows, starting with Windows 95, that maintains a short version of a long file or directory name for compatibility with Windows 3.1 and DOS.
