Abstract

${\mathrm{PbIn}}_6{\mathrm{Te}}_{10}$ is a new mid-infrared (IR) nonlinear crystal with a very wide transparency range from 1.7 up to 31 μm. Calculated phase-matching angles show possibility of frequency conversion throughout the transparency range. Sum frequency generation of multiline carbon monoxide (CO) laser and difference frequency generation when mixing CO and carbon dioxide laser radiation were experimentally studied. Laser-induced damage threshold and frequency conversion efficiency under multiline CO laser pumping were measured.
