· BaB2O4

Barium borate (BaB₂O₄) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the borate family, valued as an optical and functional material. It is primarily used in nonlinear optical applications, particularly frequency conversion and laser systems, where its nonlinear optical properties enable wavelength shifting and harmonic generation. This material is also investigated for use in scintillators, radiation detection, and specialized glass compositions, offering advantages over some alternatives due to its thermal stability and optical transparency in the UV-visible range.
