Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a kind of molecular formula that is used for infrared-visible-deep ultraviolet-deep ultraviolet band is CaB 2 o 4 The calcium metaborate birefringent crystal and its preparation method and application belong to the technical field of crystal materials and the field of optical technology. Background technique [0002] When a light beam is incident on an anisotropic crystal material, the phenomenon that it is decomposed into two beams and refracted in different directions is called birefringence. The two beams of light generated by birefringence are linearly polarized lights whose polarization directions are perpendicular to each other. With the continuous expansion of the breadth and depth of laser applications and the rapid development of optical communication technology, birefringent crystals have become an indispensable material for modulating the polarization state of light. At present, birefringent crystals are th...
