The growth characteristics and properties of large size SrAlF5 single crystals are described and compared with those of BaMgF4. SrAlF5 shows a higher grade of transparency and a larger nonlinear effective coefficient as well as uniaxial and ferroelectric nature, on contrast to the one order smaller nonlinear coefficient and biaxial character of BaMgF4. The Sellmeier and Cauchy coefficients are obtained fitting the measured ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices, and the grating period for the first order quasi-phase matching (QPM) is estimated as a function of the wavelength. The higher potential of SrAlF5 in comparison with BaMgF4 for the realization of all-solid-state lasers in the ultraviolet wavelength region by the QPM technique is pointed out.
