Welcome to Shasta Crystals

Crystal Growth for Powerful Laser Systems

Shasta Crystals manufactures single crystal fibers and nonlinear optical crystals using the Laser Heated Pedestal Growth (LHPG) technology. Our single crystal fibers are available with a variety of dopants, diameters that range from 25 microns to 1.5 mm and lengths from 1 mm to over 1 meter. Cladding of the fibers is also available using a unique technology developed at Shasta Crystals. In addition we grow PPMgLN for green light generation and KLN for blue/UV light generation.
