    Published on: July 12, 2017

  • BaMgF4 samples were irradiated with 157-nm laser pulses to assess laser-induced damage threshold.

    • Main Results:

    • Ferroelectric domain inversion was successfully demonstrated in BaMgF4.
    • The material exhibits transparency below 140 nm.
    • BaMgF4 showed no change in transmission after >1.1x10^9 shots at 2 mJ/cm^2 per pulse at 157 nm.
    • First-order quasi-phase-matched generation of 157 nm is predicted using grating periods as long as 1.5 μm.

    Conclusions:

    • BaMgF4 is a promising material for nonlinear optical applications.
    • Its demonstrated domain invertibility and DUV transparency/stability surpass existing crystalline materials.
    • BaMgF4 could enable shorter-wavelength chi((2)) frequency-mixing processes.
