Applications

I. Infrared lasers and frequency conversion.1. Mid/far-IR generation: GaSe is a core DFG and OPO element for molecular spectroscopy and environmental trace-gas monitoring. Nonlinear conversion efficiently transforms near-IR pump light into3-18μm output, enabling ppb(one-billionth)-level gas detection for air-pollution monitoring, industrial process control and explosives detection.2. Tunable IR lasers: As an OPO crystal in research systems, it provides widely tunable output for basic research and material analysis. Broad transmission and high nonlinearity support efficient conversion. II. Spectroscopy and sensing.1. High-resolution IR spectroscopy: Integration into FTIR and laser spectrometers uses IR transmission and nonlinearity to improve molecular-fingerprint detection for reaction studies and new-material characterization.2. Process/safety monitoring: Specific-wavelength GaSe-generated IR enables real-time online monitoring of key process gases and early warning of hazardous-chemical leaks. III. Research and medicine.1. Frontier research: High nonlinearity and broad transmission support nonlinear/quantum optics, optical parametric amplification and entangled-photon generation.2. Diagnosis/treatment: IR optical coherence tomography and photothermal therapy are exploratory applications; high IR transmission offers potential for deep-tissue imaging and minimally invasive treatment.
