Abstract

Ba3(ZnB5O10)PO4 (BZBP) single crystals were grown successfully by a top-seeded solution growth method. High-resolution X-ray diffraction rocking curve measurements reveal a full width at half-maximum of 34.56″ of a BZBP single crystal grown from a [101]-oriented seed. The refractive indices from the UV to the near infrared region were measured, and revealed a birefringence of 0.04179-0.03059 in the wavelength range of 253.6-2325.4 nm. In addition the type-I and type-II phase-matching range for second and third harmonic generation were calculated based on the fitted Sellmeier equations. In order to further evaluate the potential application of Ba3(ZnB5O10)PO4, the thermal properties including specific heat, thermal diffusivity, and thermal conductivity were also measured along different crystallographic axes.
