چکیده
Experimental measurements of the second order susceptibilities for the second harmonic generation are reported for YAl3(BO3)4 (YAB) single crystals for the two principal tensor components xyz and yyy. First principle's calculation of the linear and nonlinear optical susceptibilities for Yttrium Aluminum Borate YAl3(BO3)4 (YAB) crystal have been carried out within a framework of the full-potential linear augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method. Our calculations show a large anisotropy of the linear and nonlinear optical susceptibilities. The observed dependences of the second order susceptibilities for the static frequency limit and for the frequency may be a consequence of different contribution of electron-phonon interactions. The imaginary parts of the second order SHG susceptibility , , , and are evaluated. We find that the 2ω inter-band and intra-band contributions to the real and imaginary parts of show opposite signs. The calculated second order susceptibilities are in reasonable good agreement with the experimental measurements. PACS Codes: 71.15. Mb; 71.15.-m

A new thermographic phosphor based on chromium(III)-doped yttrium aluminum borate (YAB) is obtained as single crystals by high temperature flux growth and as a microcrystalline powder via solution combustion synthesis. The phosphor is excitable both in the blue (lambda(max) 422 nm) and in the red part of the spectrum (lambda(max) 600 nm) and shows bright NIR emission. The brightness of the phos...

متن کاملTheoretical and experimental study of second harmonic generation from the surface of the topological insulator Bi2Se3
We develop a theoretical model that describes the second harmonic generation of light from the surface of the topological insulatorBi2Se3 and experimentally demonstrate that the technique is sensitive to the surface electrons. By performing a crystal symmetry analysis of Bi2Se3(111) we determine the nonlinear electric susceptibility tensor elements that give rise to second harmonic generation. ...

We report quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN), where both fundamental and second-harmonic waves are ordinary waves. It provides a lower-limit value for d22 of 1.1 pm/V. The measured temperature and wavelength bandwidth of the second-harmonic signal are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions. Since the d22 = dYYY nonlinear coeff...
