SUMMARY
The discussion centers on sourcing a BBO doubling crystal for femtosecond lasers, specifically highlighting the discontinuation of these crystals by Thor Labs. Participants recommend Newlight Photonics and Altos Photonics as potential suppliers for this component. The need for a replacement crystal is urgent, as the lab's previous supplier is no longer in operation.
