Abstract

Using the separated-beam method, we have measured the full second-order nonlinear optical tensors of the crystals ${GdCa}_{4} O ({BO}_{3})_{3}$ and ${YCa}_{4} O ({BO}_{3})_{3} .$ Our d tensors $(d = χ^{(2)} / 2)$ differ from those of previous reports but give nearly the same values of $d_{eff}$ for type-I doubling of 1064-nm light. However, for other wavelengths or for type-II doubling, our tensors give values for $d_{eff}$ distinctly different from the alternative tensors.
