High-performance infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials with large laser damage thresholds (LDTs) are urgently needed because the current commercially available AgGaS2, AgGaSe2, and ZnGeP2 suffer their very low LDTs which shorten significantly their service lifetimes. Here, a novel sulfide,...
