Abstract
ZnGeP2 crystal is the leader among nonlinear crystals for middle IR. Large sized Φ20×90mm3 ZGP single crystals have been grown successfully by the vertical gradient freeze technique. The crystallinity and optical properties of as-grown crystals were measured by XRD and transmission spectra respectively. The thermal conductivity was tested using PPMS. The absorption coefficient can be reduced to 0.08cm−1 at 2μm by post-annealing. The fabricated devices were also utilized to demonstrate SHG and OPO experiments for nonlinear optical applications.
