Properties and Bibliography of GaSe

Abstract

GaAs appears to be a possible candidate material for optical frequency conversion devices in the near to far infrared (2-18 micrometers wavelength). Various properties of this material are important to researchers and systems designers to assess the utility of the material and to develop applications. A search of the published literature amassed over 600 articles. An attempt was made to organize this material by growth, structural and mechanical, thermal, electrical and optical properties. More effort was made to condense thermal and optical properties along with accounts of nonlinear optical (NLO) usages. A summary of the good and bad properties for NLO applications is given.
