Article Abstract
Second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are extensively applied in laser-related techniques. For developing IR NLO materials, chalcogenides are the main candidates. Here, NaGaSe was explored as inspired by its unique anionic structure. It crystallizes with the orthorhombic chiral 222 structure, featuring 12 types of GaSe tetrahedra built into a three-dimensional {[GaSe]} anionic network, representing a new NLO-functional motif. NaGaSe exhibits large and phase-matchable NLO response 1.37 × AgGaS. It has the largest band gap among the noncentrosymmetric A-M-Se (A = alkali metal; M = Ga, In) compounds. The NLO properties' origin is explored via theoretical analysis. The success of NaGaSe contributes a practical case for exploring new NLO materials.

Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals capable of expanding the spectral region of solid-state are of great importance for many high-tech applications, yet their rational structure design remains a great challenge because of the conflicting property requirements among second harmonic generation (SHG) response, ultraviolet (UV) cut-off edge, and birefringence. Herein, based on the chemical disubstitution of the classic NLO crystal SrBeBO (SBBO), , substituting [BO] triangles with larger π-conjugated [BO] groups and substituting high-toxic [BeO] tetrahedra with environment-friendly [AlO] tetrahedra, a new high-performance aluminoborate NLO crystal, BaAlBO, has been successfully designed and synthesized. The theoretical calculations and optical property measurements indicate that BaAlBO exhibits not only the largest SHG response among the reported aluminoborates (2.

The semiconductor-electrolyte interface with strong electrical tunability offers a platform for tuning nonlinear optical (NLO) processes and achieving giant optical nonlinearities. However, such a demonstration and fundamental mechanistic understanding of electrochemically tuned NLO properties have not been reported. Here, we developed an electrochemical Z-scan system to characterize the evolution of NLO responses in tellurium nanorod films under bias voltage.

The generation of coherent deep-ultraviolet (DUV) radiation via nonlinear frequency conversion remains a major scientific and technological challenge in modern optics. To date, only a very limited number of nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals-such as KBBF, ABF, and quartz-have been experimentally demonstrated to support measurable direct second-harmonic generation (SHG) at wavelengths of 177 nm or shorter. There is a pressing need to develop alternative materials or strategies that enable efficient frequency conversion in the DUV region.

Infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals are crucial for mid-IR lasers, yet their intrinsic narrow band gaps cause low laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDTs) and detrimental two-photon absorption, thus limiting their widespread application. Herein, a synergistic strategy involving d-orbital exclusion and polarization motif construction is employed to synthesize novel chalcogenide SrZnSiS by introducing [SiS] and [ZnS] tetrahedral polarization subunits. Performance evaluation demonstrates that SrZnSiS breaks through the "4.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) constructed with porphyrins as organic ligands have attracted considerable attention due to their excellent nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. Developing innovative synthetic strategies and structural designs to improve the NLO response of porphyrin-based MOFs has become a prominent research area. In this paper, HTCPP MOF and CuTCPP MOF were synthesized by hydrothermal method with Co as metal node, and HTCPP and CuTCPP as ligands, respectively.
