BGS / BGSe Crystal
BaGaS2 (barium gallium sulfide, BGS) and BaGaSe2 (barium gallium selenide, BGSe) are high-performance broadband nonlinear optical crystals. BGS transmits over 0.35–13.7μm with high nonlinear coefficient and damage threshold, and almost no two-photon absorption of 1μm pump light. It suits efficient high-power nonlinear conversion such as OPO/OPA using 1030/1064nm femtosecond or nanosecond lasers. BGSe extends transmission to 0.47–18μm, also combining high nonlinear coefficient and damage threshold. Direct 1μm pumping enables high-power tunable output across the 3–5μm and 8–14μm atmospheric windows, making it a core material for IR remote sensing, spectroscopy and terahertz technology.
