ZGP(ZnGeP2) Crystals
Zinc Germanium Phosphide (ZGP) crystals possess large nonlinear coefficients (d36=75pm/V). Our ZGP has wide infrared transparency range(0.75-12μm), useful transmission from 1.7um. ZGP also shows high thermal conductivity(0.35W/(cm·K)), high laser damage threshold (2-5J/cm2)and well machining property. ZnGeP2 (ZGP) crystal is called the king of infrared nonlinear optical crystals and it is still the best frequency conversion material for high power, tunable infrared laser generation. DIEN TECH offers high optical quality and large diameter ZGP crystals with extremely low absorption coefficient α < 0.02 cm-1(at pump wavelengths 2.0-2.1 µm). These properties enable ZGP crystals to be used to generate mid-infrared tunable laser with high efficiency through OPO or OPA processes. DIEN TECH provides two types of ZnGeP2 crystal, C-ZGP and YS-ZGP. YS-ZGP shows lower absorption at 2090nm than C-ZGP. C-ZGP absorption coefficient at 2090nm <0.05cm-1 while YS-ZGP absorption coefficient at 2090nm <0.02cm-1 . C-ZGP grew by vertical method while YS-ZGP grew by horizontal method. Also, YS-ZGP shows better homogeneity and output efficiency as well.

Electro-optic deflectors (EODs) are optical devices used to steer or deflect light beams by applying an electric field to a specialized optical crystal. Unlike mechanical beam steering systems that rely on moving mirrors, electro-optic deflectors enable high-speed, non-mechanical beam control with exceptional precision and responsiveness. They are widely used in laser scanning, optical communications, microscopy, laser printing, spectroscopy, and scientific research, where rapid and accurate laser beam positioning is essential.
