Abstract
O (KLMW). As expected, KLMW exhibits a strong SHG efficiency (3 × KDP) and moderate birefringence (0.103 @ 1064 nm). In addition, it has a short UV cut-off edge of 231 nm and can be conveniently grown from solution. More importantly, it realized fourth harmonic generation with type-I phase-matching. Therefore, these excellent properties make KLMW a potential practical UV NLO material.
