    Barium gallium selenide (BaGa4Se7, BGSe) crystal is a novel infrared nonlinear optical material with excellent comprehensive properties. The current research priority lies in the preparation of large-size, high-quality BGSe crystals. The synthesis of high-purity BGSe polycrystalline raw materials over 500 g was achieved in a single batch using a two-temperature zone synthesis furnace. Subsequently, BGSe crystal boules with a diameter of ϕ60 mm were successfully grown via an modified Bridgman method. Through orientation, cutting, and polishing processes, laser frequency conversion devices measuring over 10 mm×10 mm×50 mm were fabricated. The prepared crystals and devices represent the largest dimensions reported to date, providing critical material and component support for mid- to long-wave infrared laser output.
