Abstract
L-arginine phosphate has emerged recently as an interesting new nonlinear material for several reasons. First, this material apparently has a damage threshold about twice that of KDP according to recent tests performed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Second, Xu et al. have previously reported phase matched SHG efficiencies from LAP 3-4 times greater than KDP. Because the individual d tensor couplings were not known, it was not certain that the phase matching direction chosen by those workers was in fact optimum.
