摘要

In organic π-conjugated crystals, enhancing molecular optical nonlinearity of chromophores (e.g., first hyperpolarizability β ≥ 300 × 10~(?3)0 esu) in most cases unfortunately results in zero macroscopic optical nonlinearity, which is a bottleneck in organic nonlinear optics. In this study, a new class of nonlinear optical organic crystals introducing a chromophore possessing an extremely large first hyperpolarizability is reported. With newly designed 4-(4-(4-(hydroxymethyl) piperidin-1-yl)styryl)-1-(pyrimidin-2-yl)pyridin-1-ium (PMPR) chromophore, incorporating a head-to-tail cation-anion OH?O hydrogen-bonding synthon and an optimal selection of molecular anion into crystals results in extremely large macroscopic optical nonlinearity with effective first hyperpolarizability β eff/ⅲ of 335 × 10~(?30) esu. This is in sharp contrast to zero β eff/ⅲ value for previously reported analogous crystals. An ultrathin PMPR crystal with a thickness of ≈10 μm exhibits excellent terahertz (THz) wave generation performance. Both i) broadband THz wave generation with a wide flat-spectral-band in the range of 0.7–3.4 THz defined at ?3 dB and high upper cut-off generation frequency of > 7 THz as well as ⅱ) high-generation efficiency (5 times higher THz amplitude than ZnTe crystal with a mm-scale thickness) are simultaneously achieved. Therefore, new PMPR crystals are highly promising materials for diverse applications in nonlinear optics and THz photonics.
