BiBO (Bismuth Borate, Bi₃B₅O₁₂) is a nonlinear optical ceramic compound valued for its frequency conversion and harmonic generation capabilities across ultraviolet and visible wavelengths. It is widely employed in laser systems, particularly for wavelength tuning and optical parametric oscillation applications where efficient nonlinear optical response is critical. BiBO is preferred over traditional alternatives like KDP (potassium dihydrogen phosphate) and DKDP in research and industrial settings due to its broader transparency range, higher nonlinear coefficients, and superior optical quality, making it essential for high-power laser systems and scientific instrumentation.
