Noncentrosymmetric (NCS) silicon phosphides have recently shown promise as nonlinear optical materials due to the balance of strong second harmonic generation (SHG) activity and large laser damage threshold (LDT) values. While arsenides of electropositive metals, such as Ba, Mg, Zn, and Cd were explored, no NLO properties for transition metal tetrel arsenides have yet been reported. IrSi3As3 is a novel compound, isostructural to IrSi3P3, which allows a direct investigation on the impact of the heavier pnictogen on structural and optical properties. The direct bandgap is reduced from 1.8 eV for IrSi3P3 to 1.55 eV for IrSi3As3. Unlike many NLO chalcogenides, IrSi3As3 has a small bandgap without compromising the balance between SHG signal and high LDT values. IrSi3As3 was found to outperform both its phosphide analogue IrSi3P3, as well as the state-of-the-art infrared SHG standard AgGaS2 (AGS) in SHG activity and the LDT.
