Abstract

A genetic engineering method is employed to design the second harmonic generation (SHG) materials with infrared transparency. The compounds of Ba2BiInA5 (A = S, Se, Te) are constructed in views of “genome” BiA5 pyramid and InA4 tetrahedron. Then, the crystal structures of these compounds are predicted or reproduced to show their non-centrosymmetry based on global optimization evolutionary methodology. Thirdly, the ab initio computations of band structures and simulations of optical properties are carried, and the nonlinear optical figure of merit in views of optical transparent range and the SHG parameters are surveyed for these crystals. Finally, we provide the substance evidences by the experimental synthesis, crystal structural determinations, and optical measurements for Ba2BiInA5 (A = S, Se) compounds.
