Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a sodium fluorosilicate deep ultraviolet nonlinear optical crystal and a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the field of deep ultraviolet nonlinear optical crystals. Background Art
[0002] As key materials for laser frequency doubling, multiple frequency doubling, sum frequency, difference frequency, optical parametric oscillation and optical parametric amplification, nonlinear optical crystals can broaden the laser wavelength range and open up new laser light sources. They are widely used in ultraviolet laser lithography, precision instrument processing, laser medical treatment, photochemistry and other fields. Commonly used oxygen-based ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet nonlinear optical crystals include: LiB3O5 (LBO), CsB3O5 (CBO), RbBe2BO3F2 (RBBF), KBe2BO3F2 (KBBF), SrB4O7 (SBO). KBBF crystal is currently the only practical nonlinear optical crystal that can output deep ultraviolet laser by direct frequency doubling. The ultraviolet cutoff edge of KBBF crystal is 147nm, and the shortest laser output can only achieve 149nm. The ultraviolet cutoff edge of SBO crystal is 120nm, and the shortest laser output can only achieve 121nm. This type of crystal exhibits a large band gap and excellent nonlinear optical properties. However, due to the absorption of metal-oxygen bonds, the band gap of this type of crystal cannot be further extended to the deep ultraviolet field. At present, no deep ultraviolet nonlinear optical crystals that can achieve a band below 120nm have been found, which greatly limits the development of deep ultraviolet all-solid-state lasers. Therefore, it is necessary to explore deep ultraviolet nonlinear optical crystals with wide band gap, high frequency doubling effect, easy growth and low cost. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the implementation and drawings.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Exploring deep ultraviolet nonlinear optical crystals using anion and cation regulation theory:
[0033] The present invention combines the guidance of anion and cation regulation theory with experimental design to obtain a sodium fluorosilicate deep ultraviolet nonlinear optical crystal. The crystal has no absorption in the visible and ultraviolet bands, a theoretical band gap of 10.45 eV, a corresponding cutoff edge of 118.76 nm, and a strong nonlinear relationship effect (3×SiO2). It meets the conditions for being an ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet nonlinear optical crystal. The basic content of the anion and cation regulation theory includes the following two parts:
[0034] Cation SP strategy: Cations are selected from elements that only contain s and p orbital electrons or whose d orbital electrons are empty, preferably alkali metals or alkaline earth metals. Existing optical crystals often use transition metals and rare earth metals as cations: transition metals have electrons in their d orbitals, which often produce dd transitions between metal electrons or dp transitions between metal and oxygen electrons, resulting in strong absorption in the visible or ultraviolet light bands, affecting the application of crystals in the visible or ultraviolet light bands; rare earth metals have electrons in both f and d orbitals, which not only produce dd or ff orbital transitions, but also dp or fd orbital transitions, resulting in strong absorption in the visible or ultraviolet light bands, which also seriously limits the application of related crystals in the visible or ultraviolet light bands. The present invention selects elements containing only s and p orbital electrons or empty d orbital electrons. This type of cation contains only s orbital and p orbital electrons, and there is no electron distribution in the d orbital and f orbital. No dd orbital transition or ff orbital transition of electrons will occur, and no absorption will be generated in the visible light and ultraviolet light bands, so it has a lower ultraviolet cutoff edge.
[0035] Fully fluorinated anionic groups: The anionic groups are fully fluorinated groups that do not contain oxygen. Such anionic groups are more electronegative than those containing oxygen, have a larger band gap for electronic transition, and have a higher frequency doubling efficiency in nonlinear optics. Moreover, such anionic groups are usually isolated and can produce larger frequency doubling coefficients through polyhedral asymmetric distortion of the anionic groups.
