摘要
Crystals of RbBe2BO3F2 up to a size of 22 x 18 x 5 mm(3) have been grown by the hydrothermal method. The growth conditions were optimized mainly by adjusting the mineralizers and growth temperature. The crystals linear and nonlinear optical properties, including its transmittance spectrum and second harmonic generation from 532 to 266 nm, were measured and compared with those of flux grown crystals. A maximum conversion efficiency of 20% was obtained with a 25 ps, 10 Hz laser system. The results indicate that RbBe2BO3F2 crystals grown by the hydrothermal method show similar capability for frequency conversion compared with flux grown crystals and are promising for future deep-UV harmonic generation.
