LiInS{sub 2} is a potentially useful crystal for cascaded parametric frequency conversion in the mid-IR. It is nearly noncritically phasematched for 1.064 {mu}m pumped, degenerate 2.12 {mu}m generation and 2 micron pumped generation of 3--5 {mu}m light. The nonlinear optical coefficients are 2{times} larger than those of KTP or KTA, while the transparency extends from 0.5--8 {mu}m. LiInS{sub 2} crystals are currently available in volumes up to 5 mm{sup 3}. This memo provides a brief summary of the current literature concerning the growth and linear and nonlinear optical properties of LiInS{sub 2}.
