“…7. In the x-y plane, negative type-I phase matching is possible from 545.7 nm (|d eff | = d 13 , but strongly absorbed second harmonic) to 614.3 nm, where d eff vanishes. Negative type-II phase matching in this plane is possible between 690 and 793.7 nm.…”

We review the physical properties, linear and nonlinear optical characteristics, and phase-matching configurations of BiB3O6 (BIBO), the first low-symmetry (monoclinic) inorganic nonlinear crystal that has found broad applications for frequency conversion of laser sources from the UV, across the visible, to the near-IR based on three-wave interactions. We describe in detail the most relevant optical properties that make this material an attractive candidate for nonlinear frequency conversion of laser light in general, and ultrafast femtosecond laser sources in particular. With special focus on ultrafast frequency conversion, characteristics such as group-velocity mismatch and spectral acceptance, parametric gain bandwidth, group-velocity dispersion, as well as angular acceptance and spatial walk-off are evaluated and optimum configurations for the attainment of maximum conversion efficiency, minimum pulse duration, and highest spatial beam quality are identified and compared with the most widely established alternative borate crystal, β-BaB2O4. Experimental results are presented on both parametric up-and down-conversion of femtosecond pulses, from the high-energy, low-repetition-rate (1 kHz) to the low-energy, high-repetitionrate (56-76 MHz) regime, demonstrating the unique versatility of BIBO for efficient frequency conversion of femtosecond pulses with broad tunability from 250 nm in the UV, throughout the visible, up to ∼ 3000 nm in the IR.Photograph of a femtosecond synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator (SPOPO) based on BiB3O6 emitting in the yellow region of the spectrum. Pumped near 400 nm in the blue by the second harmonic of a Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser, the SPOPO can generate femtosecond pulses across the full visible range of 480-710 nm, from the blue-green, through to yellow, orange and red.

We report for the first time a continuous wave (CW) blue radiation at 494 nm by intracavity sum frequency generation of 912 nm Nd:GdVO 4 laser and 1079 nm Nd:YAlO 3 (Nd:YAP) laser. Using type I crit ical phase matching LiB 3 O 5 (LBO) crystal, 494 nm blue laser was obtained by 912 and 1079 nm intra cavity sum frequency mixing, and output power of 179 mW was demonstrated. At the output power level of 179 mW, the output power stability is better than 3.5% and laser beam quality M 2 factor is 1.21.

A Nd:GdVO 4 crystal is pumped directly into its emitting level at 913 nm for the first time to the best of our knowledge. 3.35 W output laser emitting at 1063 nm is achieved in a 1.1 at.% Nd-doped Nd:GdVO 4 . The crystal absorbs pumping light of 4.30 W at 913 nm and produces a very low quantity of heat with the opto-optic conversion efficiency of 77.2%. The average slope efficiency is 81.2% from 0.21 W, at the threshold, to 4.30 W of absorbed pump power. Because of the very weakly thermal effect, the near-diffraction-limit beam is easily obtained with beam quality factor of M 2 ≈ 1.1. The output power and the temperature of crystal versus the absorbed pump power
