We herein report two asymmetric germanate crystals, KNbGe O and K Nb Ge O , with different structures and optical properties derived from divergent polymerized forms of GeO and NbO groups. Remarkably, K Nb Ge O achieved a rare combination of the strongest second harmonic generation (SHG) response of 17.5×KDP @ 1064 nm and the largest birefringence of 0.196 @ 546 nm in germanates. It features unique [Nb O ] tubular chains constructed by circular Nb O tripolymers. Theoretical calculations reveal that the d-p interactions in the Nb O group are responsible for outstanding optical properties. This work emphasizes the significance of the polymerizable functional units in obtaining high-performance nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals.
我们在此报告了两种具有不同结构和光学性质的不对称锗酸盐晶体 KNbGe O 和 K Nb Ge O ,它们源于 GeO 和 NbO 基团的发散聚合形式。值得注意的是,KNbGe O 在锗酸盐中实现了最强的二次谐波产生(SHG)响应 17.5×KDP@1064nm 和最大双折射 0.196@546nm 的罕见组合。它具有独特的[Nb O ]管状链,由圆形的 Nb O 三聚体构成。理论计算表明,Nb O 基团中的 d-p 相互作用是其具有优异光学性能的原因。这项工作强调了可聚合功能单元在获得高性能非线性光学(NLO)晶体方面的重要性。
