La 6 Cd 0.75 Ga 2 Q 11.5 Cl 2.5 (Q = S and Se): two new nonlinear optical chalcohalides with a large laser-induced damage threshold
Two new chalcohalides La 6 Cd 0.75 Ga 2 Q 11.5 Cl 2.5 (Q = S and Se) with mixed-anionic functional groups were synthesized through a high temperature reaction using LaCl 3 as reaction-flux. Both compounds crystalize in the non-centrosymmetric space group P 6 3 with highly oriented tetrahedron [GaQ 4...

shows a large laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) (18.6 × AgGaS

) and strong second harmonic generation (SHG) response (0.8 × AgGaS

). These results indicate that the introduction of halogens into chalcogenides is beneficial to achieve large LIDTs and SHG response. |
