LiInSe₂ — Lithium Indium Selenide
Lithium indium diselenide (LiInSe₂, LISe) is a new biaxial nonlinear-optical crystal in the orthorhombic system, point group mm2. Directional solidification or vertical Bridgman growth typically yields dark-red crystals about 20mm long and 10mm in diameter. Broad 0.43–13.2μm transmission, a large nonlinear coefficient and high damage threshold make it an excellent mid-IR nonlinear crystal. Containing the 6Li isotope, it also combines semiconductor/scintillator properties for room-temperature thermal-neutron detection.
