Zinc germanium phosphide (ZnGeP₂, ZGP) is a positive uniaxial crystal and one of the most commonly used nonlinear crystals in optical parametric oscillator (OPO) technology. ZGP offers a large effective nonlinear coefficient (dₑff=75pm/V, several times or tens of times those of other commonly used nonlinear crystals), a high damage threshold (>30GW/cm²), a broad transmission band (0.74~12.4μm), low absorption (less than 0.04cm⁻¹ over 2~3μm), high thermal conductivity (360mW/cm·K), stable performance, and mature fabrication processes. It can be grown into large crystals and is an ideal crystal for mid-infrared OPOs in the 3~5m band.
