  • Abstract
    The second-harmonic generation nonlinear optical susceptibility of trigonal tellurium has been measured at 28.0 μm by the phase-matching technique. The value obtained was |d_{11}| = (5.7 \\pm 1.9) \\cdot 10^{-10} m/V in MKS units. This value establishes the longest wavelength "standard" for the measurement of nonlinear optical susceptibilities by comparative techniques. Experimental details and data are given to justify the quoted uncertainty.
