Product Description

Silver gallium sulfide (AgGaS2), also known as silver thiogallate or AGS, is a ternary sulfide used in nonlinear optical crystals for infrared frequency conversion. It crystallizes in a tetragonal chalcopyrite structure and is used in optical parametric oscillators, difference frequency generation, and frequency doubling of infrared lasers. Silver gallium sulfide powder provides a starting material for crystal growth and optical materials development, where composition, impurity levels, and phase purity influence subsequent processing and crystal quality.
