LiGaS₂ (lithium gallium sulfide, LGS) is a new infrared nonlinear optical material with a wurtzite structure (space group Pna2₁, point group mm2). Its large nonlinear optical coefficient (d₃₁=5.8@2.26um), broad transmission band (0.33~12 μm), sufficiently large birefringence (Δn=0.04), and low two-photon absorption make it a promising new generation of mid-infrared nonlinear optical material with excellent overall performance. LiGaS₂ also has a relatively wide bandgap among mid-infrared nonlinear crystals, reaching 4.15 eV, enabling effective use in laser systems tunable over a broad spectral range.
