Popis: using low-temperature solution growth. We also demonstrate the growth of single crystalline thin films of DSTMS with an area of up to 6! 5 mm 2 and a thickness between 5‐30 lm. Nonlinear optical measurements reveal that DSTMS possesses large nonlinear optical susceptibilities with v111 (2) =(430±40) pmV ‐1 at 1.9 lm. Highly efficient generation of broadband THz waves with THz electric field strengths of more than 4 kVcm ‐1 using 160 fs laser pump pulses at a wavelength k=1.45 lm and DSTMS crystals has been demonstrated.
