Birefringent crystals that can modulate the polarization of light play a significant role in modern optical devices including polarizing microscopes, isolators, and achromatic quarter-wave plates. To date, commercial birefringent are exclusively limited to purely inorganic compounds.

Deep-UV nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have attracted much academic and technical attention due to their capability of producing coherent light wavelengths below 200 nm. As a well-known branch NLO materials, researchers obtained many deep-UV crystals with superior properties in π-conjugated system (such as borate systems carbonate systems). However, structural property limitations, the research developments encountered difficulties balancing properties. Recently, scientists started pay...
