Abstract
Parametric superradiant (resonator free) generation in nonlinear crystals of ZnGeP2 and GaSe (type I phase matching) was obtained for the first time. As a pump source 110 ps pulses from the actively mode locked Er:YAG laser (2.94 µm) were used. The tuning range achieved was 4-10 µm (ZnGeP2) and 3.5-18 µm (GaSe) . In case of ZnGeP2 (42 mm crystal) and type II phase matching the quantum efficiency reached 17.6% , corresponding to the output peak power of 3 MW near 5-6 µm.
