Noncentrosymmetric (NCS) silicon phosphides have recently shown promise as nonlinear optical materials due to the balance of strong second harmonic generation (SHG) activity and large laser damage threshold (LDT) values. While arsenides of electropositive metals, such as Ba, Mg, Zn, and Cd were explored, no NLO properties for transition metal tetrel arsenides have yet been reported. IrSi 3 As 3 is a novel compound, isostructural to IrSi 3 P 3 , which allows a direct investigation on the impact of the heavier pnictogen on structural and optical properties. The direct bandgap is reduced from 1.8 eV for IrSi 3 P 3 to 1.55 eV for IrSi 3 As 3 . Unlike many NLO chalcogenides, IrSi 3 As 3 has a small bandgap without compromising the balance between SHG signal and high LDT values. IrSi 3 As 3 was found to outperform both its phosphide analogue IrSi 3 P 3 , as well as the state-of-the-art infrared SHG standard AgGaS 2 (AGS) in SHG activity and the LDT.more » « less
