✦ Synopsis

Oxides and chalcopyrites, typically semiconductor materials, have their self-inherited properties to be strictly in the infrared region. CsGeC13 has attracted attention because of its very wide-band transparency range and its higher nonlinear optical coefficient. This paper reports a new synthesis method and research work for crystal growth conditions on the CsGeC13. These results show that CsGeC13 is a potential applications prospective material for frequency-doubling in the infrared region.
