Optical crystals are transparent in different spectral regions, depending upon the crystal material. Optical crystals include nonlinear crystals, photorefractive crystals, laser crystals, acousto-optic and electro-optic combinations, X-ray analysis crystals, scintillation crystals, and different types of crystals that are used in semiconductors.

Optical crystals are used mainly in laser applications. A nonlinear optical crystal is used as a frequency converter in a laser and includes a crystal composed of substances such as lithium niobate, barium borate, lithium triborate, and potassium titanyl phosphate. Each of these optical crystals has specific operating characteristics and should be selected based on the laser application. For example, a lithium niobate crystal may be used to as a frequency doubler in an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) device. A nonlinear optical crystal is often used in an Nd:YAG laser. An Nd: YAG laser is a system that uses neodymium-doped (Nd) yttrium aluminum garnet crystals. An Nd:YAG crystal is one of the most common optical crystals and is used in solid-state lasers for a wide variety of applications. The amount of neodymium used to dope the YAG crystal depends on its use. For use in pulsed lasers, the crystal has a higher doping than in continuous use lasers.
