The Anisotropic Thermal Expansion of Non-linear Optical Crystal BaAlBO3F2 Below Room Temperature
Thermal expansion is a crucial factor for the performance of laser devices, since the induced thermal stress by laser irradiation would strongly affect the optical beam quality. For BaAlBO3F2 (BABF), a good non-linear optical (NLO) crystal, due to the highly anisotropic thermal expansion its practic...
