A Powder Technique for the Evaluation of Nonlinear Optical Materials
S. Kurtz,T. T. Perry +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental technique using powders is described which permits the rapid classification of materials according to the magnitude of nonlinear optical coefficients relative to a crystalline quartz standard and the existence or absence of phase matching direction(s) for second-harmonic generation.
