Zinc Germanium Phosphide (ZGP) is one of those few reliable efficient high quality non-linear crystals that is beginning to dominate applications in a particular spectral region due to the unique properties. ZGP has high non-linear coefficient good thermal conductivity low absorption relatively high Laser Damage Threshold and transparency with phase-matchability over the 2 ¦Ìm ¨C 11 ¦Ìm range (and beyond) highlight the desirable properties of the material. |
