Abstract

Non-linear optical characteristics of a new BaGa2GeSe6 crystal were numerically studied and compared with ones of the well-known mid-IR nonlinear crystal ZnGeP2 (ZGP). The calculations demonstrated the new crystal to be more efficient or, at least, competitive with the ZGP crystal for frequency conversion of CO- and CO2-laser radiation. It was found that a broadband two-stage frequency conversion of multi-line CO-laser radiation in this crystal is possible within the 2.5–9.0 µm wavelength range, with higher efficiency than in the ZGP crystal.
