Abstract
Some linear and NLO properties of borate crystals, for example, the SHG coefficients, absorption edge, and birefringence, have been calculated and predicted with the aid of nonlinear optical (NLO) active group theory. This quantum chemical theory describes and predicts the NLO behaviors of inorganic solids on the basis of localized molecular orbital functions of groups in crystals. This has been demonstrated at the Fujian institute from our development of several new NLO crystals of borate compounds including β-BaB2O4 (BBO),1 α-LiCdBO3,2 and LiB3O5 (LBO).3
