Second-order optical nonlinearities for the langasite-type phases obtained by crystallization of corresponding glasses are clarified for the first time. It is confirmed that most of langasite-type crystalline phases can be formed by crystallization in the corresponding glasses without introducting of any impurity phases, e.g., the glasses with the stoichiometric composition of Ba_3Ga_2Ge_4O_<14>, BaGa_4La_2Ge_2O_<14>, Pb_3Ga_2Ge_4O_<14>, etc. We find that Pb_3Ga_2Ge_4O_<14> and Pb_3AlGaGe_4O_<14> phases exhibited strong second-harmonic intensities of approximately 100 times as large as α-quartz by means of a powder technique, demonstrating that those langasite-type crystals are excellent nonlinear optical materials. It is also suggested that the octahedral site is one of keys for second-order optical nonlinearity in langasite-type crystals.
