Abstract :
Summary form only given. Borate crystals play the important role in the field of nonlinear optical (NLO) applications, especially in the UV region. Through our endeavor to develop new NLO crystals in the last twenty years, a new familie of borate crystals were discovered to be promising candidates to break the "200-nm wall in terms of deep-UV generation". Although the difficulties of the crystal growth of this family were encountered, K/sub 2/Al/sub 2/B/sub 2/O/sub 7/ has proved to be the first crystal in this family which can be easily grown by flux method.
