摘要
The measure second-order nonlinear coefficients using optical parametric amplification and second-harmonic generation over a range of wavelengths for the crystals KNbO3, KTiOPO4, KTiOAsO4, LiNbO3, LiIO3, beta -BaB2O4, KH2PO4, and LiB3O5. Combining our new measurements with previously reported values, we compare the wavelength variation of individual d(ijk)'s with Miller scaling, and we conclude that Miller scaling is a useful approximation for these crystals.
