Lithium Triborate (LiB3O5 or LBO) is an excellent nonlinear optical crystal, which features with

             broad transparency range from 160nm to 2600nm (see Figure 1);

             high optical homogeneity (dn»10-6/cm) and being free of inclusion;

             relatively large effective SHG coefficient (about three times that of KDP);

             high damage threshold;

             wide acceptance angle and small walk-off;

             type I and type II non-critical phase matching (NCPM) in a wide wavelength range;
