GB/T 22452-2025 is the English-translated version of 硼酸盐非线性光学单晶元件通用规范.
China's national general specification for optical devices made from borate non-linear crystals. It defines the terminology for beta-barium borate and lithium triborate single crystal components, specifies the technical requirements, the inspection rules and the packaging, marking, transport and storage, and describes the corresponding test methods. A non-linear optical crystal is what changes the colour of a laser. A laser produces one wavelength determined by its gain medium, and a great many applications need a different one - ultraviolet for micromachining, lithography and spectroscopy, green for display and pumping, tunable output for research. The crystal converts them: driven hard enough, its response to the optical field is no longer proportional, and it generates the second, third or fourth harmonic of the light passing through it, or mixes two beams into their sum or difference. Beta-barium borate and lithium triborate are the two workhorses of that job in the ultraviolet, because they combine a large non-linear coefficient with transparency far into the ultraviolet and a high resistance to optical damage. The device is a cut, oriented and polished piece of crystal, and its performance depends on properties a chemical specification cannot capture: the orientation of the cut relative to the crystal axes, which sets the phase matching and is specified in minutes of arc; the surface figure, parallelism and polish; the coating and its damage threshold; the absorption and scattering in the bulk; and the presence of inclusions and stress. These crystals are also hygroscopic to differing degrees, so the packaging and storage requirements are functional rather than administrative. Issued on 25 April 2025 and in force since 1 August 2025, it replaces GB/T 22452-2008.
