Abstract: Abstract Volume filamentary inclusions in ZnGeP2 have been visualized using the digital holography method. The chemical composition of the filamentous volume inclusions Zn3P2 and Ge have been determined using the method of X-ray diffraction analysis. It is shown that the presence of volume inclusions in the ZnGeP2 single-crystal leads to an increase in the reflection coefficient in the region of 12.5 μm. The dispersion dependences of the refractive index and the absorption coefficient of the studied ZnGeP2 samples at wavelengths of 300–1000 ...
