UV nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals are essential materials for UV solid state laser output. To date, frequency conversion in UV region is mainly dependent on borates with planar BO₃ or B₃O₆ units. Since the practical applications require more and more high comprehensive properties of crystals, it is urgent to develop new UV NLO crystals. However, it is more and more difficult to find new borate NLO crystals because borate NLO crystals have been studied for several decades. Therefore, it is important to search new systems for the exploration of UV NLO crystals. Based on the relationship between the microstructure and properties of the groups, we proposed that inorganic (CO₃)^2- and (NO₃)^- groups can be as new NLO active units for UV NLO crystals because they have π-conjugated configuration. Accordingly, our group have performed related work in carbonate and nitrate systems in recent years, which resulted in finding some excellent carbonates and nitrates NLO crystals. In addition, we have recently expanded the research field from inorganic to organic π-conjugated systems, such as isocyanurates. This mini review will introduce the research results of our team in the field of UV NLO crystals including carbonates, nitrates and cyanurates in recent years.
