Access to the elusive deep‐ultraviolet by direct second harmonic generation (SHG) enabled by a new beryllium‐free zincoborate‐phosphate crystal is reported. Ba 3 (ZnB 5 O 10 )PO 4 , exhibits large SHG responses at 1064 and 532 nm and a short 180 nm absorption edge. Centimeter‐size crystals are grown, and quantum mechanical calculations demonstrate the key role played by ZnO 4 tetrahedra in the enhanced optical responses.
