Design of a High-Performance Infrared Nonlinear Optical Crystal via a Multiple Flexible-Group Synergistic Polarization Strategy
= 137.6 and 89.3 pm/V @ 1500 nm, respectively), a high LDT (10.3 × AGS), a moderate birefringence (0.098 @ 2050 nm), and a broad IR transmission range (0.62-18.0 μm). The outstanding comprehensive performances underscore its significant potential as a promising IR NLO material. This work not only provides a strategy for the design of IR NLO crystals but also introduces a straightforward yet powerful descriptor for understanding the structure-property correlation in polarizable functional materials.
