The thermal conductivity and thermal-expansion and thermo-optic coefficients, the knowledge of which is essential for nonlinear optical applications, are measured along the three crystallographic axes of the newly discovered orthorhombic crystal . The latter has a nonlinear susceptibility only a quarter lower than that for the commercially available , but its advantages include times higher thermal conductivity, times lower thermo-optic coefficients, and the lack of sign inversion in thermal-expansion coefficients.
