| RTP (Rubidium Titanyle Phosphate – RbTiOPO4) is a material now widely used for Electro Optical applications whenever switching voltages are required to be low. |
 |
| |
|
LBO (LiB3O5) is now the most popularly used material for Second Harmonic
Generation (SHG) of 1064nm high power lasers (as a substitute to KTP) and Sum Frequency Generation (SFG) of 1064nm laser source to achieve UV light at 355nm. |
 |
| |
|
| BBO (Beta-B2O4) has been used for years in non-linear optics (mainly for scientific applications) and electro-optics, due to its excellent damage threshold, outstanding bulk homogeneity and transmission in the UV for wavelenghts up to 200nm. |
