Resumo

The linear and second-order nonlinear optical properties of single-crystal zinc tris(thiourea) sulfate, or ZTS, are determined. The deduced nonlinear coefficients are |d(31)| = 0.31, |d(32)| = 0.35, and |d(33)| = 0.23 pm/V compared with a |d(14)| value of 0.39 pm/V for potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Because it exhibits a low angular sensitivity (deltaDeltak/deltatheta), ZTS may prove useful for type-II second-harmonic generation from 1.06 to 1.027 microm. We present the phase-matching measurement data for ZTS and compare the calculated frequency conversion efficiency for ZTS with that of several other well-characterized materials.
