The linear and second-order nonlinear optical properties of single-crystal zinc tris(thiourea) sulfate, or ZTS, are determined. The deduced nonlinear coefficients are {vert bar} {ital d}{sub 31} {vert bar}=0.31, {vert bar} {ital d}{sub 32} {vert bar}=0.35, and {vert bar} {ital d}{sub 33} {vert bar}=0.23 pm/V compared with a {vert bar} {ital d}{sub 14} {vert bar} value of 0.39 pm/V for potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Because it exhibits a low angular sensitivity ({delta}{Delta}{ital k}/{delta}{theta}), ZTS may prove useful for type-II second-harmonic generation from 1.06 to 1.027 {mu}m. We present the phase-matching measurement data for ZTS and compare the calculated frequency conversion efficiency for ZTS with that of several other well-characterized materials.
