Bismuth borate (BIBO) is a newly developed nonlinear optical crystal. It has characteristics such as high effective nonlinear optical coefficient, high damage threshold, and difficulty in deliquescence. Its nonlinear optical coefficient is approximately 3.5-4 times that of LBO and 1.5-2 times that of BBO, making it an excellent frequency doubling crystal that can be used to generate blue light at 473nm.

In the field of nonlinear crystals, bismuth triborate (BIBO crystal) is a relatively novel material compared to materials such as barium borate (BBO) and lithium triborate (LBO).  BIBO crystal with high effective nonlinearity surpasses BBO in improving effective nonlinearity, and also has a wider bandgap compared to potassium titanate phosphate (KTP). This combination makes BIBO crystals particularly suitable for utilizing the second harmonic generation (SHG) phenomenon in solid-state lasers and laser diodes. BIBO crystals have particular advantages in generating green and blue spectral wavelengths through continuous wave (CW) radiation. The effective nonlinearity improvement of BIBO crystals not only improves the efficiency of SHG processes, but also facilitates the utilization of shorter crystal lengths - which is indispensable in the design of compact laser systems.
