Abstract
With the use of an infrared (IR) laser, nonlinear optical materials produce new photons via second harmonic generation (SHG) process. Properties of good nonlinear optical materials include crystallization in the noncentrosymmetric (NCS) space group, significant second harmonic generation (SHG) coefficient, high tolerance to laser damage (laser damage threshold), phase-matching behavior, and resistance to chemical change1. Thus, second harmonic generation only occurs in noncentrosymmetric (NCS) crystals. Pentasilver Tetrathiophosphate Dichloride (Ag
