Difference frequency generation under mixing of repetitively-pulsed CO- and CO-laser radiation in AgGaSe, BaGaGeSe and PbInTe nonlinear crystals was studied. Efficiency and refractive indices were examined for this frequency conversion into the long-wave domain of ∼12-20 µm in the mid-IR. The highest frequency conversion efficiency of 10 was obtained for a relatively new PbInTe crystal, which is an order of magnitude higher than previous results.
