The development of parametric devices down-converting the laser frequency to the mid-
infrared (3–30 µm) based on non-oxide nonlinear optical crystals is reviewed. Such devices …

In this review fundamentals of optical parametric oscillator and different phase matching
situation have been discussed. Requirement of nonlinear crystal and properties of some mid …

A 3–5 μm mid-infrared band is a good window for atmospheric transmission. It has the
advantages of high contrast and strong penetration under high humidity conditions …

Noncritical singly resonant optical parametric oscillator operation near 6.2 μm based on a
CdSiP2 crystal pumped at 1064 nm clickable element to expand a topic LOGIN OR CREATE …

In this work, a tunable mid-infrared optical parametric oscillator based on type I phase-
matching BaGa 4 Se 7 was demonstrated. Using a Nd: YAG master oscillator power …

Pumping mid-IR optical parametric oscillators near 1 μm is attractive for its simplicity and
power scaling capability. To this aim, wide bandgap non-oxide nonlinear crystals are …

LiInSe_2 is one of the few (only 5) non-oxide nonlinear optical crystals whose band-gap
(2.86 eV) and transparency allowed in the past nanosecond optical parametric oscillation in …

Phase equilibria in the AgGaGeS4–AgGaGe3Se8 system were investigated using
differential-thermal analysis and phase X-ray diffraction. A continuous solid solution series …

A mid-infrared LiInSe 2 (LISe) single crystal was successfully grown by the modified vertical
Bridgman technique with dimensions of about∅ 12 mm× 30 mm. A large amount of high …

We investigated optical damage (surface and bulk) in one of the most promising wide
bandgap nonoxide nonlinear crystals, HgGa 2 S 4, that can be used in∼ 1-μ m pumped …
