Abstract

Deep ultraviolet (DUV) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals have important applications in lithography, microfabrication, and high-resolution photoelectric spectrometer. In recent years, significant progress has been made in both the theoretical design and experimental research of DUV NLO crystals. This review aims to offer a comprehensive perspective on exploring a new generation of DUV NLO materials. First, we summarize various computer-aided strategies for crystal structure design and emphasize their significant role in advancing the discovery of DUV NLO materials. Then, we outline several representative DUV crystals of experimental synthesis. Finally, we discuss the future prospects for exploring new generations of DUV NLO materials. We believe that employing data-driven, computer-aided methods to explore DUV NLO materials will help address the current challenges in the field of DUV NLO materials research. The close integration of calculation and experimentation will unlock new opportunities.
