ZGP Zinc germanium phosphate

ZGP Zinc germanium phosphate crystal is an efficient mid-infrared nonlinear optical crystal material with a light transmittance range of 0.76~12.0 µ m, which can be applied to the optical parametric amplifier (OPA), optical parametric oscillator (OPO), two-wave coupling (SHG), four-wave coupling (FHG) and other mid-infrared bands.

The nonlinear sensitivity of ZGP crystal is about 160 times that of KDP (d36-75 pm/V). ZGP has good optical transparency in the range of 740-12000 nm and high laser damage threshold, making it very suitable for generating near-infrared tunable lasers.
