Single crystals LiGaX2(X = S, Se, Te) of optical quality were grown, with transparency ranges at 5 cm‐1absorption level of 0.32‐11.6 μm, 0.37‐13.2 μm and 0.54‐14.2 μm, respectively. The first two, LiGaS2and LiGaSe2, have a wurtzite‐type structure whereas LiGaTe2is tetragonal (chalcopyrite lattice). The three refractive indices were measured in the whole transparency ranges of LiGaS2and LiGaSe2andnaandncwere found to be very close (quasi‐uniaxial optical anisotropy) with a crosspoint at 6.5 μm (LiGaS2) and 8 μm (LiGaSe2). Sellmeier equations were fitted and phase‐matching conditions for second harmonic generation (SHG) were calculated: the 1.467‐11.72 μm spectral range for the fundamental is covered by LiGaS2and LiGaSe2.
