Abstract

Ultraviolet (UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals with second-harmonic generation (SHG) response can efficiently output UV coherent light, which has important applications in UV solid-state lasers. Herein, we designed and synthesized a novel Eu-based borate (NLO) crystal, RbNa2Eu2(BO3)3 (RNEBO), which introduces Eu to A3RE2(BO3)3 (A = alkali metal, RE = rare earth) system applied in the UV direction firstly and exhibits both strong SHG activity and widely optical transmission window. The RNEBO crystallizes into the non-centrosymmetric (NCS) space group Amm2, featuring a three-dimensional framework of [EuBO3]∞ layers with isolated [BO3]3- groups bridging in a coplanar arrangement. Meanwhile, the alkali metal cations Rb+ and Na+ were incorporated into the void of the anion framework to ensure coordination and charge balance. The distinctive internal structure endows RNEBO to possess large SHG response (~3.55 × KDP) and UV transmittance of 6.17% at 200nm. This finding confirms that RNEBO is a potentially UV NLO crystals and provides valuable insights for the exploration of Eu-based borate UV NLO crystals in the future.

具有二次谐波发生（SHG）响应的紫外（UV）非线性光学（NLO）晶体可以有效地输出紫外相干光，这在紫外固体激光器中有着重要的应用。在这里，我们设计并合成了一种新型的Eu基硼酸盐（NLO）晶体--RbNa2Eu2(BO3)3（RNEBO），它首先在紫外方向应用的A3RE2(BO3)3（A=碱金属，RE=稀土）体系中引入了Eu，同时表现出很强的SHG活性和很宽的光学透射窗口。RNEBO 结晶为非中心对称（NCS）空间群 Amm2，具有[EuBO3]∞层的三维框架，孤立的[BO3]3-基团以共面排列方式桥接。同时，在阴离子框架的空隙中加入了碱金属阳离子 Rb+ 和 Na+，以确保配位和电荷平衡。独特的内部结构使 RNEBO 具有较大的 SHG 响应（约 3.55 × KDP），在 200 纳米波长的紫外线透过率为 6.17%。这一发现证实了 RNEBO 是一种潜在的紫外 NLO 晶体，并为今后探索基于 Eu 的硼酸盐紫外 NLO 晶体提供了宝贵的启示。
