Quasi-phase-matched gallium arsenide for versatile mid-infrared frequency conversion

Progress in processing low-loss quasi-phase-matched gallium arsenide crystals makes it possible to benefit from their excellent nonlinear properties in practical mid-infrared sources. This paper addresses both crystal growth aspects and the most recent device demonstrations.
