“…The generation of coherent blue light through second harmonic generation (SHG) from near-infrared (NIR) laser source is an important technological importance that has attracted much attention in the last few years. Several inorganic crystals such as potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) and beta barium borate (BBO) exhibit this technology, which include high-density optical data storage [2], printing [3], spectroscopy [4][5][6] and biomedicine [7]. The growth processes for many inorganic nonlinear optical crystals are quite complex and typically require high temperature fluxes.…”
