Abstract

Large single crystals of ${\mathrm{BaBPO}}_5$ have been grown with ${\mathrm{Li}}_4{\mathrm{P}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_7$ as the flux by the top-seeded solution growth method. The crystal is chemically stable and easily polished and absolutely insensitive to moisture. The obtained ${\mathrm{BaBPO}}_5$ crystals are bounded by a combination of well-developed $\{1 0 \overline{1} 1\}$ rhombohedron and $\{1 0 \overline{1} 0\}$ hexagonal prism faces. The crystal is found to be transparent from 180 to 3300 nm. The refractive indices were measured with the minimum-deviation method and fitted to the Sellmeier equations. The nonlinear optical coefficient $d_{11}$ of ${\mathrm{BaBPO}}_5$ measured by the Maker fringes technique is $0.49d_{36}$ (KDP).
