Abstract
BaGa4S7 (BGS) and BaGa4Se7 (BGSe) are attractive new nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals notable for the rare combination of wide band gaps (3.54 eV and 2.64 eV), long phonon cut-off wavelengths (13.7 m and 18 m), and relative ease of growth from stoichiometric melts, making them ideal for shifting widely-available 1-micron laser sources deep into the mid-IR. Here we demonstrate high purity HGF growth along desired phase-matching directions for simplified fabrication and maximum yield of oriented frequency conversion devices, allowing apertures up to 15x25 mm2 and lengths greater than 20 mm, as well as compare seeded vs. unseeded growth.
