Discovering new deep‐ultraviolet (DUV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is currently a great challenge. The reported DUV NLO materials are almost exclusively borates or phosphates. Silicates—the largest constituent of the earth's crust—are excluded owing to their weak second harmonic generation (SHG) response. We report a silicate, Li2BaSiO4, with edge‐sharing LiO4–SiO4 tetrahedra that achieves the balance between a short UV absorption edge, below 190 nm, and a large SHG response, 2.8×KDP. The SHG intensity is the largest for silicates without second‐order Jahn–Teller cations, and exceeds that of non‐isomorphic Li2SrSiO4 by more than an order of magnitude. As such Li2BaSiO4 may be seen as a promising DUV‐UV NLO material. This research indicates that edge‐sharing tetrahedra is a new design parameter for discovering new DUV NLO materials.  相似文献

KBe2BO3F2 (KBBF) is still the only practically usable crystal that can generate deep‐ultraviolet (DUV) coherent light by direct second harmonic generation (SHG). However, applications are hindered by layering, leading to difficulty in the growth of thick crystals and compromised mechanical integrity. Despite efforts, it is still a great challenge to discover new nonlinear optical (NLO) materials that overcome the layering while keeping the DUV SHG available. Now, two new DUV NLO beryllium borates have been successfully designed and synthesized, NH4Be2BO3F2 (ABBF) and γ‐Be2BO3F (γ‐BBF), which not only overcome the layering but also can be used as next‐generation DUV NLO materials with the shortest type I phase‐matching second‐harmonic wavelength down to 173.9 nm and 146 nm, respectively. Significantly, γ‐BBF is superior to KBBF in all metrics and would be the most outstanding DUV NLO crystal.  相似文献

The discovery of new nonlinear optical (NLO) materials for coherent light generation in the deep‐ultraviolet (DUV, wavelength below 200 nm) region is essential for the development of laser technologies. Herein, we report a new material CsB4O6F (CBF), which combines the superior structural properties of two well‐known NLO materials, β‐BaB2O4 (BBO) and KBe2BO3F2 (KBBF). CBF exhibits excellent DUV optical properties including a short cutoff edge (155 nm), a large SHG response (≈1.9×KDP), and a suitable birefringence that enables frequency doubling down to 171.6 nm. Remarkably, CBF melts congruently and shows an improved growth habit. In addition, our rational design strategy will contribute to the discovery of DUV NLO materials.  相似文献

A new beryllium‐free deep‐ultraviolet (DUV) nonlinear optical (NLO) material, β‐Rb2Al2B2O7 (β‐RABO), has been synthesized and characterized. The chiral nonpolar acentric material shows second‐harmonic generation (SHG) activity at both 1064 and 532 nm with efficiencies of 2×KH2PO4 and 0.4×β‐BaB2O4, respectively, and exhibits a short absorption edge below 200 nm. β‐Rb2Al2B2O7 has a three‐dimensional structure of corner‐shared Al(BO3)3O polyhedra. The discovery of β‐RABO shows that through careful synthesis and characterization, replacement of KBe2BO3F2 (KBBF) by a Be‐free DUV NLO material is possible.  相似文献

A novel concept to obtain the deep‐ultraviolet (DUV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is proposed based on the assembling of one‐dimensional (1D) polar motifs into quasi‐1D polymer patterns. Based on the first‐principles calculations, we have successfully discovered an excellent DUV NLO polymer, i.e., poly(difluorophosphazene), with the chemical formula of (PNF2)n. Calculations reveal that PNF2 has a larger band gap, a stronger second harmonic generation effect, a larger birefringence, and a shorter phase‐matching cutoff than KBe2BO3F2. These findings not only demonstrate that the PNF2 is the first reported DUV NLO polymer, but also could open a new direction to discover novel DUV NLO materials in polymer systems.  相似文献

Deep‐ultraviolet nonlinear optical (DUV NLO) crystals are the key materials to extend the output range of solid‐state lasers to below 200 nm. The only practical material KBe2BO3F2 suffers high toxicity through beryllium and strong layered growth. Herein, we propose a beryllium‐free material design and synthesis strategy for DUV NLO materials. Introducing the (BO3F)4−, (BO2F2)3−, and (BOF3)2− groups in borates could break through the fixed 3D B–O network that would produce a larger birefringence without layering and simultaneously keep a short cutoff edge down to DUV. The theoretical and experimental studies on a series of fluorooxoborates confirm this strategy. Li2B6O9F2 is identified as a DUV NLO material with a large second harmonic generation efficiency (0.9×KDP) and a large predicted birefringence (0.07) without layering. This study provides a feasible way to break down the DUV wall for NLO materials.  相似文献

Designing deep-ultraviolet (DUV) nonlinear-optical (NLO) crystals is one of the major current research interests, but it faces a great challenge. In order to overcome the problem of crystal growth and the toxicity of BeO raw materials in KBe2BO3F2 (KBBF), the only applicable DUV NLO crystal so far, we substitute Be2+ cations with Zn2+ in the KBBF structure and modify the halogen anions, by which three new Zn-containing KBBF-like compounds, CsZn2BO3X2 (X2=F2, Cl2, and FCl), have been successfully synthesized. They all exhibit excellent NLO properties, including improved SHG responses (2.8–3.5×KDP) and short UV cut-off edges (<190 nm). In comparison with KBBF, CsZn2BO3X2 (X2=F2, Cl2, and FCl) are all chemically benign and have better growth habits, so they are all promising as DUV NLO crystals. Further study on structure–property relationships indicates that the mixing of halogen anions is a feasible strategy to enhance the SHG responses of the KBBF family.  相似文献

To design high‐performance mid‐infrared (mid‐IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, we have focused on the combination of a heavy metal lone pair cation, Pb2+ and mixed oxyhalides. A systematic investigation in PbO‐PbCl2‐PbBr2 system led us to discover the first examples of NLO lead mixed oxyhalides, namely, Pb13O6Cl4Br10, Pb13O6Cl7Br7, and Pb13O6Cl9Br5. All the reported materials have remarkably comprehensive properties including broad IR transparency (up to 14.0 μm), qualified second harmonic generation (SHG) responses (0.6–0.9×AgGaS2), wide band gaps (3.05–3.21 eV), and ease of crystal growth. Interestingly, a centimeter‐sized single crystal (2.9×1.3×0.5 cm3) of Pb13O6Cl9Br5 revealing a wide transparent range (0.384–14.0 μm) and high laser damage threshold (LDT) (14.6×AgGaS2) has been successfully grown in an open system. The study suggests that all the reported mixed oxyhalides are outstanding candidates for mid‐IR NLO materials.  相似文献

We evaluated the individual atom contributions to the second harmonic generation (SHG) coefficients of LiCs2PO4 (LCPO) by introducing the partial response functionals on the basis of first principles calculations. The SHG response of LCPO is dominated by the metal‐cation‐centered groups CsO6 and LiO4, not by the nonmetal‐cation‐centered groups PO4 expected from the existing models and theories. The SHG coefficients of LCPO are determined mainly by the occupied orbitals O 2p and Cs 5p as well as by the unoccupied orbitals Cs 5d and Li 2p. For the SHG response of a material, the polarizable atomic orbitals of the occupied and the unoccupied states are both important.  相似文献

Fluorooxoborates as potential deep ultraviolet (DUV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have exhibited diverse structures and NLO properties with metal cationic changes. Herein, the general mechanisms of metal cations on band gaps and optical properties in a series of typical fluorooxoborates have been clarified. It reveals that the framework of the emblematic 18-membered ring oxyfluorides has the flexibility of being able to contain different cations spanning from alkali to d10 metals by investigating the stability of the artificial CdB5O7F3 structure. Besides, introducing d10 metal cations can enhance the second harmonic generation (3.1×KH2PO4 (KDP), d36=0.39 pm V−1) and also keep a DUV spectral transparency (Eg>6.2 eV). Thus, the d10-containing fluorooxoborate exhibits a great potential to be a new DUV optical material for nonlinear light-matter interactions.  相似文献

A nonlinear optical (NLO) carbonatoperoxovanadate, Rb3VO(O2)2CO3, was synthesized through a simple solution‐evaporation method in phase‐pure form. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction revealed that the structure of Rb3VO(O2)2CO3 consists of important noncentrosymmetric (NCS) chromophores, that is, π‐delocalized (CO3)2? groups, a second‐order Jahn–Teller (SOJT) distortive V5+ cation, and π‐localized distorted O22? groups, as well as charge‐balancing polarizable Rb+ ions. The powder second‐harmonic generation (SHG) measurements indicated that Rb3VO(O2)2CO3 is phase‐matchable (Type I) and exhibits a remarkably strong SHG response circa 21.0 times that of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP), which is the largest efficiency observed among carbonate NLO materials. First‐principles calculation analysis suggests that the extremely large SHG response of Rb3VO(O2)2CO3 is attributed to the synergistic effect of the cooperation of all the constituting NCS chromophores.  相似文献

A new borate LiBa3(OH)[B9O16][B(OH)4], which combines the uniform porosity of open‐frameworks with the extraordinary NLO properties of borates, has been obtained under hydrothermal conditions by using mixed lithium and barium ions as templates. The framework displays an acs‐type net with large 21‐ring channels. The second harmonic generation (SHG) measurement shows that it is a type I phase‐matchable material with a strong SHG signal intensity about 3.1 times that of KDP (KH2PO4). UV/Vis–NIR diffuse reflectance analysis indicates that the compound has a wide transparency range with the short‐wavelength absorption edge below 200 nm. These characteristics reveal that the compound is a promising deep‐UV nonlinear optical material.  相似文献

The design of efficient nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals continues to pose significant challenges due to the difficulty of assembling polar NLO-active modules in an optimal additive fashion. We report herein the first NLO-active mercuric nitrates A2Hg(NO3)4 (A=(KHNO), Rb (RHNO)), for which assembly is induced by ionic polarization of the d10 cations. The two new crystalline compounds are isostructural, featuring interesting pseudo-diamond-like structures with parallel [Hg(NO3)4] modules, and leading to strong powder second-harmonic generation (SHG) responses of 9.2 (KHNO) and 8.8 (RHNO) times that of KH2PO4. In combination with the simple solution preparation of centimeter-scale crystals, sufficient birefringence, and short ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edges, these attributes make KHNO and RHNO promising candidates for UV NLO materials. Theoretical calculations and single-crystal structure analysis reveal that the newly-developed highly condensed and distorted [Hg(NO3)4] module, with an Hg2+ cation that is quadruply bidentate nitrate-ligated, is crucial for the significant SHG responses. This work highlights the potential importance of modules with multiple bidentate ligands for the development of high-performing next-generation NLO materials.  相似文献

A big challenge for nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is the application in high power lasers, which needs the simultaneous occurrence of large second harmonic generation (SHG) and high laser induced damage threshold (LIDT). Herein we report the preparation of a new Ga2Se3 phase, which shows the SHG intensities of around 2.3 times and the LIDT of around 16.7 times those of AgGaS2 (AGS), respectively. In addition, its IR transparent window ca. 0.59–25 μm is also significantly wider than that of AGS (ca. 0.48–≈11.4 μm). The occurrence of the strong SHG responses and good phase‐matching indicate that the structure of the new Ga2Se3 phase can only be non‐centrosymmetric and have a lower symmetry than the cubic γ‐phase. The observed excellent SHG and phase‐matching properties are consistent with our diffraction experiments and can be well explained by using the orthorhombic models obtained through our high throughput simulations.  相似文献

Novel Y‐type polyester 4 containing 5‐methyl‐4‐{5‐(1,2,2‐tricyanovinyl)‐2‐thiazolylazo}resorcinoxy groups as nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores, which are parts of the polymer backbone, was prepared, and its NLO properties were investigated. Polyester 4 is soluble in common organic solvents such as N,N‐dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide. Polymer 4 shows a thermal stability up to 250 °C from thermogravimetric analysis with glass‐transition temperature obtained from differential scanning calorimetry of approximately 94 °C. The second harmonic generation (SHG) coefficient (d33) of poled polymer film at 1560‐nm fundamental wavelength is 8.12 × 10?9 esu. The dipole alignment exhibits a thermal stability even at 6 °C higher than glass‐transition temperature (Tg), and no significant SHG decay is observed below 100 °C due to the partial main‐chain character of polymer structure, which is acceptable for NLO device applications. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Density functional theory (DFT) BHandHLYP method based on the 6‐31G(d) level was employed to optimize the structures of 12‐vertex substituted carboranes. The finite field (FF) method was adopted to study their second‐order nonlinear optical coefficients. Moreover, the electron spectra of systems were analyzed. The results show carboranes with alkali‐metal substituted have considerably large first hyperpolarizability (βtot) values which is 2–3 order of magnitude larger than that of unsubstituted carborane (14.5 a.u). For halogen and organic group substituted systems, however, the βtot values are only enhanced by one order of magnitude. The β values of carboranes obviously enhance after alkali‐metal substitution. This study may evoke the possibility to explore a new thriving area, i.e., alkali‐metal substituted carboranes for NLO application. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2011  相似文献

Novel X‐type polyurethane 4 containing 4‐(4‐nitrophenylazo)‐6‐nitroresorcinoxy groups as nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores, which are parts of the polymer main chains, was prepared and characterized. Polyurethane 4 is soluble in common organic solvents such as acetone and N,N‐dimethylformamide. It shows thermal stabilities up to 270 °C from thermogravimetric analysis with glass transition temperature obtained from differential scanning calorimetry of about 134 °C. The second harmonic generation (SHG) coefficient (d33) of poled polymer film at 1064 nm fundamental wavelength is 5.37 × 10?9 esu. Polymer 4 exhibits a thermal stability up to Tg, and no significant SHG decay is observed below 135 °C, which is acceptable for NLO device applications. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

A novel niobium oxyiodate sulfate, Nb2O3(IO3)2 (SO4), was fabricated by a rational multi‐component design under moderate hydrothermal conditions. This multi‐component design is inspired by an interesting niobium oxysulfate reaction, which opens a new door for synthetic method to effectively introduce refractory metals such as Nb into crystal structures by hydrothermal synthesis. Nb2O3(IO3)2(SO4) features a cube‐like topological structure with a large phase‐matching second harmonic generation (SHG) response (6×KDP), a wide transparency window (0.38–8 μm), and a high laser damage threshold (LDT) (20×AgGaS2). It has the highest thermostability (stable up to 580 °C under air) among reported non‐centrosymmetric (NCS) iodates and sulfates and is stable in water and even concentrated H2SO4. Furthermore, Nb2O3(IO3)2(SO4) is a unique nonlinear optical (NLO) material among iodates and sulfates, because its SHG effect is mainly caused by the MO6 units rather than the IO3 or SO4 units, which is demonstrated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.  相似文献

A simple adduct from tin tetraiodide SnI4 and octasulfur S8, SnI4?(S8)2 ( 1 ), is obtained employing a facile reaction. The combination of Sn4+ ions with d10 electron configuration, acentric SnI4 tetrahedra, and lone‐pair effects of S8, makes 1 a phase‐matchable infrared NLO crystal with a moderate second‐harmonic generation (SHG) response and a very high laser‐induced damage threshold (LIDT), which is well confirmed by the DFT calculations.  相似文献
