LiIO₃
Lithium iodate (LiIO₃) is a negative uniaxial crystal with a relatively high nonlinear optical coefficient, a broad transparency range, and resistance to radiation damage. It can be used in nonlinear, acousto-optic, and piezoelectric applications. It can also be used in 347 nm ruby lasers as a medium for second-harmonic generation and parametric oscillation, and in short-pulse, broadband ultrasonic transducers. Other uses include frequency doubling, third-harmonic generation, and frequency mixing of low- and medium-power lasers.
