Strain-induced improvements on linear and nonlinear optical properties of SrB4O7 crystal
Although the high nonlinearity, strontium tetraborate crystal SrB4O7 is angular non-phasematched in UV SHG process due to its low birefringence. In this Letter, we revealed that its birefringence can be significantly enhanced by uniaxial strain based on the first principles computations. The birefri...
