Mid-Infrared (Mid-IR) OPCPA lasers delivering ultrashort, high rep-rate and high-power levels are of considerable interest for vibrational spectroscopy, label-free microscopy and ultrafast vibrational dynamics by directly addressing the electronic ground state of the system under investigation. These high power lasers require nonlinear crystals (NLC) having a high nonlinear susceptibility and transparency in the Mid-IR range. We have therefore selected a few NLCs for the present study and compare their linear and nonlinear absorption coefficients along with nonlinear refractive index pumped at 1 micrometer. In particular, we have used the crystal LGS for high power laser studies at 8 micrometer.
