“…For SRS there is no need to have acentric materials, therefore, many of the organic crystals and polymers showing pronounced v (3) properties may be reconsidered for a thus far unexplored direction in the manufacturing of all-solidstate laser frequency converters. states, [9,10,20,21] molybdates, [22,23] borates, [24,25] silicates, [26,27] iodates, [26,28,29] niobates and tantalates, [26,30] nitrates, [31,32] chlorides and bromides, [33±35] aluminates, [36,37] gallates, [38] germanates, [6,39] oxy-fluorides, [40] a first SRS active fluoride, [41] sulfates, [35,42] several organic crystals, [43,44] and new v (3) active nonlinear glasses. [45±47] Some of these are acentric crystals showing also high quadratic nonlinear susceptibilities (v (2) ).…”
