[0002] Nonlinear optical crystals can broaden the application range of laser wavelengths and obtain coherent light sources in special bands through sum frequency, difference frequency, frequency doubling and parametric oscillation. According to different application bands, the research on laser frequency conversion crystals mainly focuses on three main bands: deep ultraviolet and ultraviolet bands, visible to near-infrared bands, and mid- and far-infrared bands. Among them, the research on laser frequency conversion crystals in the deep ultraviolet and ultraviolet bands mainly focuses on borates.

[0003] Ideal nonlinear optical crystals meet these requirements: (1) Crystallize in an effective non-centrosymmetric space group. (2) Have a large nonlinear optical coefficient. (3) Wide light transmission range and high transmittance. (4) Have an appropriate birefringence. In fact, there are very few nonlinear optical crystals that strictly meet all the above conditions. Therefore, in the research and practical application process, it is necessary to make a comprehensive balance according to the application requirements, and improve or even overcome the performance indicators for related requirements through new technologies and new methods.

[0078] Crystal structure analysis of Example 2

[0079] Use single crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction methods to analyze the structure of samples 1 # ~3 # for structure analysis.

[0080] Among them, single crystal X-ray diffraction is carried out on a SuperNova CCD type X-ray single crystal diffractometer of Agilent Company in the United States. The data collection temperature is 293K, and the diffraction light source is graphite-monochromatized Mo-Kα ray The scanning mode is ω-2θ; the data is processed by the Multi-Scan method for absorption correction. The structure analysis is completed using the SHELXTL-2016 program package; the positions of heavy atoms are determined by the direct method, and the coordinates of the remaining atoms are obtained by the difference Fourier synthesis method; using the full matrix least squares method based on F 2 to refine the coordinates of all atoms and the anisotropic thermal parameters.

[0081] Powder X-ray diffraction is carried out on a Miniflex II type X-ray powder diffractometer of Rigaku Corporation in Japan. The test conditions are a fixed target monochromatic light source Cu-Kα, wavelength The voltage and current are 30kV / 15A, the scanning range is 10 to 60°, and the scanning step is 0.02°.

[0082] Among them, the results of single crystal X-ray diffraction show that samples 1 # ~3 # The chemical formulas are all Na 2 [B4 IO 9 (IO 3 ), belonging to the monoclinic system, with the space group Cc, and the unit cell parameters are α = γ = 90°, β = 101.026°, Z = 4 (the unit cell parameters vary within 5% due to crystallinity). The inorganic compound crystal Na 2 [B 4 IO 9 (IO 3 ) has a crystal structure as shown in Figure 1 , and this inorganic compound crystal has a three-dimensional crystal structure; the three-dimensional crystal structure includes 2 {[B 4 IO 9} - ∞ two-dimensional planar layers; the 2 {[B 4 IO 9} - ∞ two-dimensional planar layers are stacked along the c-axis; the 2 {[B 4 IO 9} - ∞ two-dimensional planar layer includes [BO 4 5- groups, [BO 3 3- groups and [IO 3 - groups; one [BO 4 5- group, three [BO 3 3- groups and one [IO 3 - group are connected by sharing vertices to form [B 4 IO 11 5- basic building blocks (FBBs), and these basic building blocks continue to be connected by sharing edges and vertices to form 2 {[B 4 IO 9} - ∞ layers, where [IO 3 - hangs on the same side of the borate layer; these borate iodide 2 {[B 4 I(1)O 9} - ∞ The interlayer distance between layers is​​​​​​​​ are arranged in a parallel manner, which is beneficial to inducing a strong SHG effect and large birefringence. The borate layer also contains 18-membered rings (18-MRs) with an inner diameter of about and contains Na(1) ions. The interconnection of Na(2) and the iodate moiety results in 2 {Na(2)(IO 3 ) 2} - ∞ layers. As shown in Figure 1 a, for the layer in the molecule where 2 {[B 4 I(1)O 9} - ∞ is parallel to the ab plane, and adjacent layers are parallel to each other, which may be beneficial to generating a large SHG effect. Figure 1b shows the basic building unit [B 4 I(1)O 11 in the molecule; Figure 1c shows the three-dimensional structure of the molecule; in addition, Figure 1d is 2 {Na(2)(IO 3 ) 2} - ∞ layer parallel to the ab plane, and adjacent layers are parallel to each other.

As Figure 5 shown, the absorption peaks at 1364 / 436 cm -1 are I-O absorption vibrations, while the absorption peaks at 1105 - 529 cm -1 and 1512 / 1460 cm -1 are B-O absorption vibrations. Combining with the ultraviolet absorption spectrum, it can be known that Na 2 [B 4 IO 9 (IO 3 ) can transmit well in the range of 0.24 - 7.33 microns.

[0095] Second harmonic generation response test of the sample in Example 7

[0096] The second harmonic generation response was measured using a 1064 nm Q-switched laser by the Kurtz and Perry method. Taking microcrystalline K 2 HPO 4 with the same particle size range as a reference, Na 2 [B 4 IO 9 (IO 3) The crystals were separately screened into 6 groups with particle sizes of 45 - 53 μm, 53 - 75 μm, 75 - 105 μm, 105 - 150 μm, 150 - 210 μm, and 210 - 300 μm. Then they were placed in a narrow light-transmitting box and detected under the pulsed infrared beam of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser.
