Abstract :
The refractive indices of the ternary A^{I}B^{III}C_{2}^{VI} semiconductors CuAlSe2, AgGaSe2, CuGaSe2, and AgInSe2have been measured over most of the transparency range of these crystals. The optical nonlinear coefficients for second-harmonic generation of AgGaSe2CuGaSe2, and AgInSe2have also been measured. Three-frequency colinear phase matching is analyzed in detail for AgGaSe2. The birefringences of the other three crystals are not sufficient to permit three-frequency colinear phase matching within the range of the measured index. The merits of AgGaSe2for nonlinear optical applications are evaluated in comparison with other promising infrared nonlinear materials.
