Abstract

Although AgGaS2 single crystals have desirable optical and nonlinear properties, the low laser damage threshold has limited their application for tunable infrared laser sources. Crystals have been studied by ESCA and Auger techniques and the surface of polished crystals has been found to be silver deficient, while the bulk composition is closer to stoichiometry.
