Description

This paper reports on a nonlinear optical characteristics of AgGaS2 that were investigated by measuring visible parametric fluorescence with a pump wavelength of 600 nm. A value of d36[AgGaS2] = 31 ± 5 10-12 m/V for the nonlinear coefficient was determined. The temperature dependence of phase matching up to 100 degrees C was studied. A significant temperature effect, although much smaller than the LiNbO3, was found and results in a change in the infrared difference frequency generated of ∼0.6 cm-1 · degrees C-1
