AgGaS2(Silver Gallium Sulfide, AGS) – Laser Crystal – Nonlinear Crystal – Customized Products

AgGaS2(Silver Gallium Sulfide, AGS) crystal is a typical I-III-VVI2 chalcopyrite structure compound semiconductor, light yellow at room temperature, crystal infrared transparency range is wide, non-linear coefficient is large, has a large birefringence (~ 0.054), energy gap of 2.75eV, high quality factor, high threshold of optical damage, can be used for second harmonic generation, and frequency, optical parametric oscillation, etc. In particular, AgGaS2 crystal as a parametric upconversion device can achieve 90° non-critical phase matching at room temperature, and can convert infrared light in the 10.2~11.6 μm band to 0.566 μm green light in the range of 0~100°C. These are of great importance for applications of remote sensing, ranging and spectroscopic measurements with tuned CO2 lasers as detection light sources. AgGaS2 crystal is a new type of advanced infrared nonlinear optical material with excellent performance, which has important research value and application prospects in the fields of infrared detection, infrared remote control, infrared monitoring, laser communication and national defense, science and technology.
