  • Abstract
    The nonlinear optical characteristics of AgGaS2 were investigated by measuring visible parametric fluorescence with a pump wavelength of 600 nm. A value of d36 [AgGaS2 ]=31±5×10-12 m/V for the nonlinear coefficient was determined. The temperature dependence of phase matching up to 100°C was studied. A significant temperature effect, although much smaller than for LiNbO3, was found and results in a change in the infrared difference frequency generated of ~0.6 cm-1 -°C-1
