摘要：
We present data on the linear and nonlinear optical properties of the quaternary semiconductor AgGaGeS4 having orthorhombic symmetry-a solid solution in the system AgxGaxGe1-xS2 with x = 0.5. After numerical analysis of the phase-matching configurations for three-wave nonlinear interactions, first experimental results on optical parametric amplification producing tunable (3.8-11 mum) femtosecond idler pulses are described and the results compared with the calculations. Due to its higher damage threshold and greater variety of phase-matching schemes AgGaGeS4 could become an alternative to the widely spread now AgGaS2 in high power and specific applications.
