Fig. 1. Transparent regions and damage thresholds of commonly used nonlinear crystals. The full (color) bar marks the transparent regions at zero (half) transmittance. The black, red and blue bars correspond to conventional oxide crystals, new langasite oxide crystals and semiconductor crystals, respectively. The green circles mark the damage thresholds with 10 ns pulses at
