Abstract
Cadmium silicon phosphide, CdSiP2 (CSP), crystals have good nonlinear optical properties resulting in their use in optical parametric generation (OPO and OPA) of mid-infrared light. One common limitation on the performance of OPO materials is residual optical absorption which often results from point defects formed during crystal growth. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is a powerful technique for identifying and tracking point defects in materials. By correlating behaviors of native point defects exposed to 1064 nm light using EPR with changes in optical absorption bands, models are proposed for three of the observed broad optical absorption bands.
