Crystallization behaviors of the glass with a composition of 25Li_2O・25B_2O_3・50GeO_2 corresponding to lithium borogermanate LiBGeO_4 have been examined. It has been confirmed that the LiBGeO_4 crystalline phase is formed at the surface of heat-treated glasses. The second harmonic(SH)generation is found from transparent surface crystallized glasses, demonstrating for the first time that the LiBGeO_4 phase shows optical nonlinearity. The SH intensity of LiBGeO_4 crystallites(powdered state)prepared through crystallization is about ten times as large as that of pulverized α-quartz. The SH intensity of transparent crystallized glasses(bulk state)with crystalline layers of 3-4.5 μm thickness increases with increasing heat treatment temperature(540-560℃)and time(1-6 h), and the maximum SH intensity among the samples studied is in the order of 1/10 in comparison with that of α-quartz single crystal. The transparent crystallized glass obtained by heat treatment at 550℃ for 3 h exhibits a clear and fine Maker fringe pattern, indicating a highly orientation of LiBGeO_4 crystals at the surface.
