We consider generation of 384 nm UV radiation by cavity enhanced second harmonic generation. The newly developed BIBO (BiB3O6) crystal is compared to a LBO (LiB3O5) crystal of the same physical shape. We find that the nonlinearity of BIBO is nine times larger than for LBO and they have similar passive losses. With BIBO, we obtain an internal IR to UV conversion efficiency of 50% at just 130 mW of coupled IR power. Unfortunately, instability in the BIBO crystal induced by the IR cavity field makes cw operation difficult except for low IR power.
