AgGaGeS₄ (silver gallium germanium sulfide) is a negative biaxial crystal in the orthorhombic system, with a larger nonlinear coefficient than AgGaS. Compared with conventional materials, AgGaGeS₄ has a broad transmission band (0.5~11.5μm), a low absorption coefficient (α<0.005cm^–¹), and a high laser damage threshold (30 ns, 9.55 μm, 230 MW/cm²), approximately 1.6 times those of AgGaS₂ (149MW/cm²) and ZnGeP₂ (142MW/cm²). Its birefringence (0.057) is suitable for pumping with 800 nm Ti:sapphire and 1 μm Nd:YAG lasers. It can be used for CO₂ laser frequency doubling, withstand high-power laser pumping, and produce high-power mid- and far-infrared laser output.
