In this paper we discuss the advantageous properties of ZnGeP2 for high power parametric oscillators. We present results with high conversion efficiency, good beam quality and high power. We have demonstrated 5.1 W in the 3-5 ¿m range and 0.95 W at 8 ¿m in a first round of experiments. In a new and power-scaled setup we predict more than 25 W of average power in the 3-5 ¿m range and 7 W at 8 ¿m.
