±-BBO (±-BaB2O4) is a negative uniaxial crystal which has large birefringence over a broad transparent range of 190nm to 3500nm. ±-BBO is an excellent crystal especially in UV and high power applications.
The physical, chemical, thermal, and optical properties of alpha-BBO crystal are similar to those of Beta-BBO. However, there is no second order nonlinear effect in alpha-BBO crystal due to the centrosymmetry in its crystal structure and thus it has no use for second order nonlinear optical processes. Instead, alpha BBO is widely used for fabrication of polarizers, polarizing beam displacers, phase retarders, birefringent plates, and time delay compensators especially those for UV and high power lasers.
Applications of ±-BBO Crystals
High power Beam displacers for isolators.
High power Polarizer
Time delay compensators
Advantages of ±-BBO Crystals
High UV transmittance
Large birefringence
High damage threshold

Li-6 lithium glass scintillator is a kind of inorganic scintillator which can be used for thermal neutron detection. It has the advantages of short decay time, high efficiency of slow neutron detection and good temperature performance. In addition, the Li-6 glass scintillator is easy to process and form, non-hygroscopic, acid and alkali resistant, can withstand the high and low temperature rapid change. Therefore, in the harsh situation that contains corrosive liquid and vapor, the lithium glass (Ce) can still work, but other scintillators cannot be suitable. Li-6 glass scintillator are widely used in neutron time-of-flight experiments, oil and natural gas exploration, moisture content measurement, nondestructive testing and neutron photography. OST Photonics can provide different specifications of Li-6 glass scintillators according to your requirements. Neutron time-of-flight experiments Oil and natural gas exploration Moisture content measurement Nondestructive testing(NDT) Neutron photography Advantages of Li-6 Glass Scintillators Fast decay time High efficiency of slow neutron detection Good temperature performance Non-hygroscopic The Ability of OST Photonics Maximum Size: �¸50mm x 50mm Available items: monolithic glass
Luminol, is a yellow crystal or beige powder at room temperature and is a relatively stable chemical reagent. At the same time, luminol is a strong acid, which has a certain irritating effect on eyes, skin and respiratory tract. It is one of the oldest and most commonly used reagents. It can be oxidized by peroxide under alkaline conditions and emit light at the same time. The redox reaction between luminol and peroxide requires a catalyst, which is generally more Valence metal ions, peroxidases such as iron, horseradish peroxidase, etc. This method is often used to detect the content of peroxides, heavy metals, peroxidase, and the derived free radicals, for toxicant analysis And analysis methods based on peroxidase and glucose oxidase. Under normal circumstances, the chemiluminescence reaction between luminol and hydrogen peroxide is very rapid in the presence of certain catalysts. The most commonly used catalyst is metal ions. In a large concentration range, the concentration of metal ions is directly proportional to the luminescence intensity, so that chemiluminescence analysis of certain metal ions can be performed. This reaction can be used to analyze organic compounds containing metal ions to achieve Very high sensitivity. The second is to use the inhibitory effect of organic compounds on the chemiluminescence reaction of luminol to determine the organic compounds that have a quenching effect on the chemiluminescence reaction. The third is the indirect determination of inorganic or organic compounds through coupling reactions. Luminol Luminescence Principle One is that sodium hypochlorite oxidizes luminol to make it glow; The second is that hydrogen peroxide reacts with sodium hypochlorite to generate oxygen and oxidize luminol to make it glow: The first is the equation for the reaction of sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide: NaClO+ H2O2== NaCl + O2+ H2O Secondly, when luminol reacts with hydroxide, a double negative ion (Dianion) is formed, which can be oxidized by oxygen generated by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, and the product is an organic peroxide. The peroxide is very unstable and immediately decomposes nitrogen (Luminol is not oxidized by organic oxidants such as dimethyl sulfoxide to generate nitrogen, but to generate nitrogen-containing organics) to generate excited 3-aminophthalic acid . In the transition from the excited state to the ground state, the released energy exists in the form of photons with a wavelength in the blue part of visible light. The method of indirect determination by coupling refers to the combination of one reaction that can produce or consume chemiluminescence reactants with another chemiluminescence reaction, so that indirect chemiluminescence determination of certain substances can be achieved. This method is used when determining the purity of certain substrate enzymes.
