Gamden Optics is organized around manufacture of high quality nonlinear optical crystals. The firm's super-low absorption UV-grade LBO crystals are designed for long lifetime and stable UV generation and hydrothermally-grown KTP for demanding green generation. With decades of experience among team members having been involved in the first Ã-BBO in the 1980s in high temperature nonlinear optical crystal growth, GAMDAN was established primarily to grow LBO. The firm grows BBO and LBO crystals of exceptional quality - also fabricating LBO, BBO and KTP crystals in-house for OPO and frequency multiplication applications and providing contract fabrication services, including single crystal X-ray Orientation, cutting, dicing, polishing and inspection.
