Abstract
Second-order nonlinear optical properties of Mg-doped lithium niobate singl e crystals are quantitatively studied from the chemical bond viewpoint. The results show that the second-order nonlinear optical response of Mg-doped LiNbO3 single crystals at 1079 nm decreases linearly with increasing Mg con centration in the crystal. This linear correlation is quantitatively evalua ted in the current work.
