A one-year research program is proposed to develop new optical sources          such as widely tunable optical parametric oscillators and ultra-violet          femtosecond laser sources based on the new nonlinear optical crystal            barium metaborate (BBO).  The investigators of this proposal have               recently succeeded in growing large crystals of BBO for the first time          in this country.  However, much work remains to perfect the growth              technology and to characterize completely this new crystal.  They               propose to concentrate on the following tasks:  (1) perfect the growth          technology of large BBO crystals; (2) complete characterization of BBO          crystals; (3) develop femtosecond uv laser sources using intra-cavity           doubling in BBO.
