초록

A quaternary chalcogenide Li2CdGeS4 is an excellent candidate for a nonlinear optical (NLO) material exhibiting wide transparency spanning from its fundamental band edge (3.15 eV) to the terahertz regime (23.5 m). Strong optical nonlinearity of Li2CdGeS4 has been investigated over a wide spectral range (lambda = 1.064-3.3 m) based on second- and third-harmonic generation. The compound has a high damage threshold at lambda = 1.064 m because of saturable three-photon absorption, and is phase-matchable for lambda > 1.5 m with chi(2) 2 similar or equal to 50 pm/V. It also exhibits strong third-order nonlinearity of chi((3)) similar or equal to 10(5) pm(2)/V-2. Li2CdGeS4 is promising for high-power NLO applications in the broad infrared spectrum.
