title: Thermo-optic dispersion formula for AgGaS2.
abstract: AgGaS(2) has been found to be 90 degrees phase matchable at 192 degrees C for sum-frequency mixing between the output of the KTP parametric oscillator at 3.2627 microm and its pump source at 1.0642 microm. The thermo-optic dispersion formula that can be used for good reproduction of the temperature-dependent phase-matching conditions thus far reported in the literature as well as our new data for second-harmonic generation of a CO(2) laser and its harmonics at 1.7652-5.2955 microm is presented.
