Book excerpt: "Nonlinear optical materials are a rapidly growing market and are expected to exceed $1.6 billion by 2007. Significant time, energy, and investment have been applied to increasing the efficiency of producing NLO materials. Of these materials beta-barium borate has stood out as an important NLO product. The goal of this research was the development of a novel beta-barium precursor suitable for applications in thin film technology. Special attention was paid towards development of a precursor suitable for metal organic chemical vapor deposition. To that end special attention was paid towards the synthesis of a mononuclear barium compound. The novel BBO precursor obtained was a barium dimesityl borate compound coordinated with 18-crown-6, barium (18-crown-6) dimesitylborinate (BaB2C48O8H68). The apparently water-sensitive precursor has shown conversion to BBO comparable to current industrial processes"--Abstract.

Gross and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research developed two novel precursors for the formation of [beta]-BBO thin films using the metal organic decomposition (MOD) process. Advantages of using crown ether in the precursor solution were observed and recorded, including a lower temperature [beta]-barium borate formation and the ease of characterizing the precursor and its greater stability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emphasis of our program during the past year has been on improving the size and quality of beta-barium borate (BBO) crystal, develop the growth recipe for lithium triborate crystal (LBO), characterization of LBO, develop BBO optical parametric oscillators, and finally help establish commercial sources of these crystals. Progress was made in all these areas. First, on the BBO crystal growth technology, we have now succeeded in growing relatively large single crystals of good quality (see Figure 1). The technology have now been transferred successfully to Cleveland Crystals Inc. They are now the first and only commercial source of domestically produced BBO crystals in this country and our program is receiving royalty income from their sales to support our research effort.
