AgGa1-xInxS2 and
AgGa1-xInxSe2 nonlinear crystals with variable chemical
composition are novel perspective materials for parametric conversion of the laser
radiation. With the In quantity increase the principal refractive indices rise and the
value of birefringence changes. The possibility of the controlling In quantity
alteration makes it possible to produce the crystals with optimum phase matching
angles for the given parametric process, specifically to realize the non-critical
processes . The shown curves indicate that for different compositions the
minimum phase matching angle practically corresponds to the same pumping wavelength
and rises with In quantity increase. The same behavior is typical and for
AgGa1-xInxSe2 crystals. To this
moment on AgGa1-xInxSe2 elements
(x = 0.3) the SHG of CO2 laser with phase matching angle near
90oand process efficiency equal 60% was realized. The main properties
of AgGa1-xInxS2
and AgGa1-xInxSe2 crystals are
investigating. The high-performance frequency doublers of CO2 laser
radiation (range 9.2-10.6 mm) are designed on the
basis of AgGa1-xInxSe2 crystals.
The power conversion efficiency is about 50-60%.
