Nonlinear polarizability of alpha-iodic acid G. R. Crane

The nonlinear optical coefficient d \4 of HI03 has been remeasured by the wedge technique. The new value d r~o, = 13.1 ± I d ~fP substantially agrees with values previously determined via phase matched experiments. A probable reason for failure of a simple bond polarizability scheme to predict this coefficient is discussed.
INTRODUCTION
Recent papers1•2 have successfully predicted the nonlinear optical coefficients of several iodate compounds by use of a bond additivity model. With the exception of d14 for HI03 , the observed and calculated values agree within one standard deviation. The apparent misfit for this one coefficient (about three standard deviations) could be attributed to either inaccurate measurements or additional interactions not present in the other iodates. This paper reports an additional measurement of du for" HIOs which eliminates the former possibility. A Simple argument is given which shows that the latter possibility is indeed reasonable.
Previously reported values of 10.2 ± 1. 93 and 16 ± 44 (times d36 for KH2 P04 (KDP)] were obtained by phase matched second harmonic generation measurements. The present investigation was carried out using the wedge technique. 5,6
EXPERIMENTAL
A wedge of angle (J = 2 0 was made as shown in Figure 10 The second harmonic signal was then measured as shown in Fig. 2. The measured coherence length 114 was 3. 15 /-Lm in close agreement with the value 3.16 calculated from the known indices of refraction. 4 The observed signal was compared with the second harmonic signals from dll of a-quartz and dss of lithium iodate. Since corrections for absorption were negligible for these materials, the coefficient dHl40s was calculated from6

The experimental results were
and
dnIOS = (1. 08 ± O.1)d~~I03
This pair of determinations then gives a ratio
dhuos / drl-SlO2 = 14. 9 ± O. 5
in agreement with previous measurements. 7 Taking the known ratios of these two coefficients to dFsPand averaging, a best value of
d~!03 = (13.1 ± l)d~P
is obtained.
DISCUSSION
The bond additivity model applied to the iodates describes the observed nonlinearities in terms of the iodine-oxygen interactions. 1 Specifically, "bonds" with lengths approximately 1. 9 and 2.9 A and the lone pair of electrons each are assumed to have second order polarizability tensors with two independent elements, f3" and {3J., respectively. 1 The macroscopic polarizability of the crystal is derived from the bond polarizabilities by the relation

For the particular coefficient d 14(=d12S ), only the quantity (30 = (311 - 3(31 contributes to the macroscopic polarizability. Bergman and Crane l (BC) have shown that for LiIOs Ca(IOs)a' 6H20, and KIOaFa, (3"'?'.3(31 for the three interactions considered. If the same set of interactions are the principle source of nonlinearity in HIOs, then Eq. (5) predicts a small du for HIOs•
The large observed value of 13.1 xdfe>P indicates that some interaction peculiar to the HI03 molecule (as contrasted to the 10; ion) contributes either directly or indirectly to the nonlinear polarizability -of crystaline HIOs' A direct contribution might be the nonlinear polarizability of the O-H covalent bond. For this interaction to be the major part of d~los however is inconsistent with the observed nonlinear coefficient of KzH(IOs)zCl = KIOs • HIOs ' KCI) which are in good agreement with the values calculated using the polarizabilities of BC.
On the other hand, an indirect contribution might be the distortion of the 1-0 bonds and the lone pair due to the interaction with the O-H covalent bond and perhaps due also to the hydrogen bond joining adjacent molecules.
This could result in relatively small changes for /3"
and (31 for each 1-0 bond and for the lone pair. Since Eq. (5) gives dHl~03 as proportional to the difference between two nearly equal numbers, the small changes in the polarizabilities of the bonds could cause an enormous change in d~lo3 without perhaps significantly changing to nonlinear coefficients of KzH(I03)2Cl. Unfortunately there is insufficient experimental data to really determine the polarizability of the HI03 molecule so the solution of this problem must be deferred until more materials (possibly the acid-alkali iodates) have been studied.
CONCLUSION
The previously reported values3•4 for dHl~03 are found
to be substantially correct. The most probable explanation for the poor fit for this coefficient in the bond addivitity scheme is the difference between the HI03 molecule and the 10; ion.
