Abstract

In 7.7 divided by 39.6 cm¹ range investigated for the first time refraction and absorption spectra of AgGaSe₂ and AgGa_{1- x}In_xSe₂ crystals allowed to compute a phase matching characteristic and efficiency values of difference frequency generation with total laser intensity from 60 MW/cm² up to 15 GW/cm². The maximum efficiency values were close to 1*10^-3. Powerful half-cycle pulse generation is proposed with the investigated crystals.
