文摘

Growth of ZTC (21×10×8 mm3) and Nd3+ doped ZTC (27×17×5 mm3) bulk crystal is achieved. Nd3+ doped ZTC crystal is excellent TONLO crystal with χ3 of magnitude 5.82×10−3 esu. Doping of Nd3+ significantly improved the optical parameters of ZTC crystal. Enhanced SHG efficiency of Nd3+ doped ZTC crystal is 1.24 times that of ZTC crystal. Lower dielectrics of Nd3+ doped ZTC crystal are vital for optoelectronics applications.
