BaGa₄Se₇ (barium gallium selenide), abbreviated BGSe, belongs to the monoclinic space group Pc (No. 7). It has a large bandgap (2.64eV), a broad transmission range (0.47~18μm), a strong nonlinear effect (d₁₁=24.3 pm/V, d₁₃=20.4 pm/V), moderate birefringence (Δn=0.06@2μm), and a high laser damage threshold. BGSe has good crystal-growth properties, making large, high-quality single crystals readily obtainable and suitable for high-power output. BGSe can be pumped by 1~3μm lasers to generate tunable mid- and far-infrared output extending to 18 μm. Compared with ZnGeP₂, BGSe can be pumped by a 1μm laser source and is easier to fabricate into large-aperture devices. BGSe is currently the best-performing nonlinear optical crystal for frequency downconversion of mature 1μm lasers to mid- and far-infrared output.
