An optical crystal holder primarily functions as a protective housing for the nonlinear crystal or wave plate contained within. Protection against humidity, mechanically induced stress, surface contamination and temperature fluctuations often demand the use of a well-engineered crystal holder. Cleveland Crystals has decades of experience in the design, and manufacture of the world's best optical crystal housings, both dry and fluid filled. The XA/XP and XC windowless mounts make holding small, thin crystals safe and easy. The XS and XH styles provide protection from the surroundings, as well as handling convenience. Ceramic apertures protect the cells from optical damage caused by stray laser light and features like nitrogen purge fittings, index matching fluid, and AR coatings tailored to your specific requirements make these cells the ideal choice for your project. Large-aperture XG and custom housings are also available.
