Our staff team has over 3 decades of experience in crystal growth and material fabrication.

Crystal Growth

From chemical synthesis to oven design to developing growth profiles specifically suited to each type of crystal, GAMDAN has focused on the complete system and process in order to produce crystals of the highest quality.

• We start with chemicals of the purest quality specifically selected for the process.
• Our oven systems are custom designed to match the growth profile of each type of crystal.
• We construct our oven systems using the highest quality ceramic and aerospace material available in the industry to minimize ion contamination.
• Every chemical used in our synthesis is assessed to avoid absorption in the relevant wavelength.
• Every compound used in our polishing system is accessed to avoid material contamination.

BBO

This classic NLO has one of the highest conversion efficiencies in the UV region. Paired with its high damage threshold, it can be used for generation of light deep into the UV with significant power.

Our technical staff was part of the team of scientists who grew the first BBO in the 1980s. For the past 30 years we have continually improved and customized the oven and growth system to produce BBO of the highest quality. Our unique BBO growth system was built to minimize defects and increase production yield - part of the reason we can provide them at such competitive prices.  

LBO

A high damage threshold and high conversion efficiency makes LBO an ideal candidate for high power Green- Blue- UV conversion of solid state and fiber lasers.

With LBO, as it is often used under high power, the fabrication quality is crucial. Surface damage of the material and the loss of power that results happens when surface quality is not strictly controlled. Introduction of certain substances during the fabrication process can lead to invisible damage that emerge during operation, especially in the UV. We are committed to continual improvement of our process and materials.

With quality, price, and accessibility, we hope that you will find a full solution for your NLO needs at GAMDAN Optics.
