✦ Synopsis

A sizable single crystal of Bi 2 ZnOB 2 O 6 has been grown by the Kyropoulos method. The nonlinear optical coefficients have been determined by the method of Maker fringes at l¼1064 nm. It is found that these coefficients relative to d 36 for KH 2 PO 4 (KDP) are d 31 ¼ (2.34 7 0.05)d 36 (KDP), d 32 ¼ (7.90 7 0.16)d 36 (KDP) and d 33 ¼ (2.60 7 0.06)d 36 (KDP). The large nonlinear optical coefficients as well as easy crystal growth make the Bi 2 ZnOB 2 O 6 crystal a promising candidate for NLO materials.
