China Photoelectron Crystal Materials & Components Industry Report, 2008

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c92039) has announced the
addition of "China Photoelectron Crystal Materials & Components
Industry Report, 2008" to their offering.

With the rapid development of electro-optics materials and
components, a backbone of hi-tech industry, namely, the optoelectronic
technology industry has already taken shape around the world, the
progression and application of which reflects the hi-tech strength of
a country in a way. As the core of optoelectronic technology,
electro-optical crystal materials play a key role. Besides, there are
higher and updating requirements on electro-optical crystal materials,
following the development and application of optoelectronic
technology. All Solid State Laser (DPL) Technology that takes
artificial crystal as a core component and large power semiconductor
laser (LD) as pump source is a profound development trend of
optoelectronic technology, which is prevalently used in such fields as
military, science & technology and medical treatment. Along with the
entry of tri-color GRB laser display into home theatre system and
laser big-screen market, all solid state laser (DPL) technology gets a
bright future for large-scale production. Non-linear laser crystal
component is the core component of tri-color GRB laser products, which
is of a higher added value. China takes a lead in this field and has
its own intellectual property rights.

Nowadays, the all solid state laser that is featured with high
efficiency and high power is the main development trend of lasers. The
development trend of electro-optical crystal materials is as follows.
Firstly, more efforts ought to be made to improve the quality and good
yield of original materials so as to considerably reduce the cost for
access to civilian market. Secondly, new functional crystal materials
should be developed according to the demand of information technology
and other application technologies. Thirdly, crystal processing
techniques should be further improved through in-depth study, and the
development of processing crystal components should be strengthened.
Fourthly, more attempts should be made in the research and development
of crystal components to continuously increase the output power and
stability of lasers. Facing an ever-increasingly fierce competition in
international market, China must resolve the problem of poor
capability in R&D of forward-looking new materials in artificial
crystal and artificial crystal materials with self-owned intellectual
property. In addition, China should reinforce its strength in
technical innovations to obtain more technologies with independent
intellectual property for more effective large scale production.

At present, non-linear optical crystals are mainly applied in
solid state lasers. Along with the wider application and increasing
application of solid state laser, the application of non-linear
optical crystal materials is constantly expanding.

China is one of the earliest researchers in non-linear optical
crystals and its crystal growing technology leaves other nations
behind. So far, China has had nearly 30 electro-optical crystal
materials growing or processing enterprises, of which Fujian CASTECH
Crystals, Inc is the world's largest producer of non-linear optical
LBO and BBO crystals and related components.

Companies Mentioned:

-Fujian CASTECH Crystals, Inc.

-Beijing Laser Optical Technology Co., Ltd.

-Chengdu Dong-jun Laser Co., Ltd.

-Coretech Crystal Company

-Fujian JDSU CASIX, Inc.

-Photop Technologies, Inc.
