An SrBOor PbBOcrystal is configured with a plurality of domains with respective periodically alternating polarity of the crystal axis so that the disclosed crystal is capable of quasi-phasematching (QPM). The disclosed crystal is manufactured by a method including patterning a surface of a crystal block of SrB4O7 or PbB4O7, thereby providing patterned uniformly dimensioned regions with a uniform polarity sign on the surface. The method further includes generating a disturbance on the patterned surface, thereby inverting a sign of crystal polarity of every other region to form the SrBOor SrBOcrystal with a plurality of domains with alternating polarity enabling a QPM mechanism.
