Abstract

By second harmonic generation in and out of the principal planes we estimated the three nonlinear coefficients of the Li-containing mid-IR crystals LiGaS2 and LiGaSe2 which are isostructural to LiInS2 and LiInSe2 and possess even larger bandgaps. First results on optical parametric amplification reveal their advantages for direct down conversion to the mid-IR.
