Abstract

We report the band structures as well as frequency-dependent (dynamic) linear and nonlinear optical properties of CsCdBr3 and RbCdI3 · H2 O crystals calculated within density functional theory with a nonlocal gradient correction, including the dielectric function, linear and nonlinear refractive indices, frequency doubling, and self-focusing of light. The electronic origin of the optical susceptibilities is described and the critical power of light self-focusing is estimated for these two crystals.
