Abstract

Optical second-order nonlinearity of ferroelastic Ba₂TiGe ₂O₈ crystal in transparent crystallized glasses was estimated by means of the Maker fringe technique. Transparent crystallized glasses were fabricated by crystallization of a glass with the composition of 30 BaO.15 TiO₂.55 GeO₂. The crystalline layer consisting of highly oriented Ba₂TiGe₂O₈ crystals was formed at the surface of about 9 μm thickness, and a clear second-harmonic generation was observed. The optical second-order nonlinearity of d₃₃ for Ba₂TiGe₂O₈ crystal was found to be ∼10pm/V, being comparable to d₂₂ and d₃₁ of LiNbO ₃, and demonstrating that Ba₂TiGe₂O₈ crystal is an excellent candidate for nonlinear optical crystals.
