KTiOP04 (KTP), KTiOAs04 (KTA), /2-BaB204 (BBO), LiB305 (LBO) and LiNb03 are important nonlinear optical materials for second harmonic generation (SHG) and optical parametric oscillation (OPO). We present a comprehensive investigation on the two-photon absorption (TPA) and bound electronic Kerr nonli...
