Study on Nonlinear Optical Properties of BSS Material

Abstract:

The calculated results based on the density functional theory are employed to simulate the nonlinear optical properties of a new compound of Ba₇Sn₅S₁₅ (BSS). The frequency (ω=eV/ħ) dependent SHG tensor components of the BSS are calculated from 0.0 to 2.0 eV energy range. The calculated components d₃₁(20.3 pm/V) and d₃₃(18.8 pm/V) are close to the experimental value of of 19.5 pm/V at a wavelength of 2.10 μm. The SHG conversion efficiency and the figure of merit of BSS material are about two fold as compared with those of AgGaS₂ material. The charge transfers within the (Sn₂S₃) and (SnS₄) polyhedrons lead to the most contribution to SHG response, and the polarity superposition of the [Sn₂S₃]^2- groups will strengthen the crystal polarity and result in a large SHG response in a BSS material.
