Advantages of LBO：
Broad transparency ranges from 160nm to 2600nm.
High optical homogeneity (dn≈10-6/cm) with little inclusion;
Relatively large effective SHG coefficient (about three times than that of KDP);
High damage threshold;
Wide acceptance angle and small walk-off;
Type I and type II non-critical phase matching (NCPM) in a wide wavelength range;
Spectral NCPM about 1300nm.
