Barium chalcogenides for nonlinear optics in the mid-IR: Properties and applications
Valentin Petrov, Kiyoshi Katō, Kentaro Miyata
Abstract
The essential properties of BaGa4S7 (BGS), BaGa4Se7 (BGSe), BaGa2GeS6 (BGGS), BaGa2GeSе6 (BGGSe), and Ba2Ga8GeS16 (B2GGS) are reviewed, together with all nonlinear optical applications of these non-centrosymmetric crystals realized so far.
