Cesium Lithium Borate (CsLiB6O10，CLBO) is a newly developed crystal with excellent UV nonlinear feature，and widely used for semiconductor inspection，micro processing，bio-medical，UV-LIDAR，etc. Compared to BBO，it has larger spectral and temperature acceptance，larger angle tolerance and smaller walk-off angle (see Table 1). These advantages make CLBO obtain larger SHG conversion efficiencies than BBO. Moreover，it is suitable for FOHG and FHG of high-power Nd:YAG laser.
Advantages:
•Cut-off wavelength up to 180nm。
•Maximum FOHG and FHG conversion efficiencies of Nd:YAG laser。
•Relatively large effective NLO coefficient (about two times that of KDP)。
•Wide acceptance angle and small walk-off angle。
• The VUV output at 193nm is available by phase matching。
•No saturation for high-power generation。
•Short grow cycle and large size。
