Abstract
The quadratic nonlinear optical coefficients of pure and MgO-doped lit hium diborate (Li2B4O7) crystals grown by the Czochralski method have been measured at the fundamental wavelength of 1064 nm. The effects of MgO-doping in the lithium diborate crystals are discussed. By doping 1 mol% MgO in the lithium diborate crystals d(31) is increased by 40% while d(33) is decreased.
