ZGP Crystal Has the Following Characteristics:
A large effective nonlinear coefficient (deff=75pm/V, which is several times or tens of times that of other commonly used nonlinear crystals)

High damage threshold (>30GW/cm2)
Wide light transmission band (0.74~12.4μm)
Small absorption coefficient (2~3μm absorption coefficient is less than 0.04 cm-1)
High thermal conductivity (360mW/cm·K)
Stable performance and mature production process
It has many advantages, such as the ability to grow large-sized crystals. It is an ideal crystal for mid-infrared OPO in the 3-5 m bands.

Features of ZGP Crystal:
Large nonlinear coefficient
The transmission region is 74 μm to 12μm
The relative damage threshold is high
High thermal conductivity
Wide transparent area
Phase matching over a wide spectral range
