Abstract

Second-order optical nonlinearities, d₃₃, of LaBGeO₅, LiBGeO₄ and Ba₂TiGe₂O₈ crystals in transparent crystallized glasses were estimated by means of the Maker fringe technique. Transparent surface crystallized glasses were fabricated by crystallization of a glass with the exact or close stoichiometric composition of each crystal. The d₃₃ values of ∼0.13 pm/V for LaBGeO₅, ∼0.7 pm/V for LiBGeO₄ and ∼7 pm/V for Ba₂TiGe₂O₈ crystals were obtained. The crystallized glass consisting of Ba₂TiGe₂O₈ crystals with pyramidal TiO₅ units has the largest d₃₃ value of the crystallized glasses reported so far, and its value is comparable to the d₂₂ value of LiNbO₃ single crystal. It is proposed that LiBGeO₄ and Ba₂TiGe₂O₈ crystals can be considered as new candidates for optical nonlinear crystals.
