Abstract
Summary form only given. For mid IR region ZnGeP/sub 2/ crystals have excellent potential for application in nonlinear optics due to unique combination of physical properties. In 1987 second harmonics generation (SHG) efficiency of 49% was realized with this crystal pumped by 2-ns pulses of CO/sub 2/-laser with intensity /spl sim/ 1GW/cm/sup 2/. In the present work SHG was investigated with the ZnGeP/sub 2/ crystals pumped by CO/sub 2/-laser pulses with much higher radiation intensities. To prevent the crystal surface optical damage we applied the significantly shorten laser pulse duration as compared with known data. In our experiments CO/sub 2/-laser system "Picasso-2" was used generating the train of pulses with duration 20 - 100 ps and total energy up to 15 J. The system provided laser intensity up to 100 GW/cm/sub 2/ at the crystal samples surface /spl sim/15 /spl times/15 mm/sup 2/. The work was supported by the Russian Fund for Basic Research (grant #03-02-16094).
