Optical Crystals

Optical crystals play a pivotal role in harnessing the power of light for a wide range of applications, with laser crystals and nonlinear crystals  standing out as two distinct categories at the forefront of optical science and technology. Laser crystals are meticulously engineered materials that enable the creation of coherent and intense laser beams, serving as the heart of countless laser systems, from medical devices to industrial cutting tools. On the other hand, nonlinear crystals exhibit fascinating optical properties that allow them to manipulate light in unique ways, facilitating a wide variety of applications in quantum optics, medical and industry.
