Abstract

We have synthesized several metal xanthate complexes from metal salts and xanthate potassium salts. Powders of several of the materials were sorted and tested for their nonlinear optical properties. Cadmium xanthate demonstrated phase matchability for frequency doubling of 1.06 micron light and generated a very strong second harmonic signal.
