專業BSO crystals廠商

Bismuth silicone oxide (Bi12SiO20, BSO) crystals are highly efficient photoconductors with a low dark conductivity, that allows a build-up of large photo-induced space-charges. Tremendous photoconductivity and electro-optic properties make BSO crystals attractive in a range of applications: spatial light modulators, optical switches, phase conjugation mixers. BSO crystals are grown by modified Czochralski method and available in up to 3‘‘ diameter aperture size.

Crystals can be supplied with ITO coatings on request.
