摘要
Melilite-type Ba2MgGe2O7 was found to be an attractive, simultaneously chi((2)) - and chi((3)) -active nonlinear optical crystal. Under one-micron picosecond Pumping we observed several manifestations of nonlinear interactions, namely almost sesqui-octave Stokes and anti-Stokes lasing combs, collinear and "Cherenkov"-type SHG, THG, SFG, and cascaded self-conversion chi((3)) <-> chi((2)) generation in the visible and UV range. All recorded lasing components were identified and attributed to a single SRS-promoting vibration mode w(SRS) = 771.5 cm(-1). A short review of melilite-type, compounds is given.
