Abstract

We present a novel organic crystal, 5-(methylthio)-thiophenecarboxaldehyde-4-nitrophenylhydrazone, with a large effective phase-matchable nonlinear optical coefficient, d_eff=29±3 pm/V at λ=1318 nm. Single crystals of dimensions up to 25X5X5 mm³ were grown. The large off-diagonal nonlinear optical coefficients can be explained with the two-dimensional geometry of the chromophores in the crystal lattice. Our crystal is ideally suited for optic parametric oscillation in the wavelength range from 1000 to 2500 nm.
