Abstract

Optically transparent 50BaO (DOT) 50B₂O₃(in mol%) glass-ceramics, in which the surface crystallized layer was composed of an a-axis oriented beta-BaB₂O₄(BBO) fine grains, have been successfully prepared by the conventional melting-quenching technique and subsequent controlled heat treatment. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) shows that glass crystallization occurred on samples surface in a range of about 2 micrometer in thickness. Only beta-BaB₂O₄ crystalline phase was detected in samples sintered at temperature below 930 degrees Celsius. The spherical crystalline particles-size is about 0.2 micrometer in average diameter. Second harmonic generation (SHG) signals from the transparent surface crystallized samples were observed using a Q-switched pulsed Nd:YAG laser at a wavelength of 1.064 micrometer.
