Ba<sub>3sub>(ZnB<sub>5sub>O<sub>10sub>)PO<sub>4sub> (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 Ba<sub>3sub>(ZnB<sub>5sub>O<sub>10sub>)PO<sub>4sub>, the thermal properties including specific heat, thermal diffusivity, and thermal conductivity were also measured along different crystallographic axes.
