Abstract
We present second-harmonic generation (SHG) measurements on two different LiInS2 crystals. The material was first studied by Boyd and coworkers in the seventies,1 and has enjoyed renewed interest because of its attractive optical properties, such as the large transparency range from 0.4-12 µm and the high (estimated) nonlinear susceptibility d33 of about 18 pm/V,1 which is higher than that of the widely used AgGaS2.
