The invention relates to a
centimeter-grade large-dimension hydrated
potassium borate non-linear optical
crystal, and a preparation method and application. The
crystal has a molecular formula of K3B3O10H8 and belongs to an orthorhombic
system, the
space group is Pna21, the molecular weight is 317.78, the unit
cell parameter V is 942.3, and Z is 4. The optical
crystal is prepared by adopting a hydro-thermal method. The non-linear optical effect of the non-linear optical crystal provided by the invention is one time of that of
potassium dihydrogen
phosphate (KDP) crystals, the
ultraviolet absorption edge is below 190 nm, the optical crystal has a wide transmission range in
ultraviolet and visible light regions, the preparation process has the advantages of low cost,
low toxicity, short growing period, stable physical and
chemical property and the like, and is simple to operate. The non-linear optical crystal provided by the invention has a wide application in non-linear optical devices such as frequency doubling
converters, optical parameter oscillators and the like.
