Abstract :
The present state of growth and characterization of new crystals related to ternary halogenides MPb2Cl5 (Br5): RE with M = K, Rb, Tl, (active media) and ternary Li-containing chalcogenides LiMeX2, with Me = In, Ga, Al; X = S, Se, Te (nonlinear crystals) for laser application in the mid-IR are reviewed.
