Blue-light-induced infrared absorption in KNbO3
Owing to its high nonlinearity and low passive losses, KNbO3 has great potential as a medium for efficient frequency doubling and parametric oscillation." 2 For example, KNbO3 has been used successfully for the production of cw blue light by frequency doubling of a dye laser,3 doubling of a semiconductor diode laser,4 and nonlinear mixing of diode and Nd:YAG lasers.5 In recent work we observed ...
متن کاملTunable picosecond infrared laser system based on parametric amplification in KTP with a Ti:sapphire amplifier.
A picosecond laser system that will generate high-power tunable IR pulses with bandwidths suitable for spectroscopic applications is discussed. The system is based on white-light continuum generation in ethylene glycol and optical parametric amplification in potassium titanyl phosphate. The nonlinear-optical processes are driven by a regeneratively amplified Ti:sapphire laser that produces 1.7-...
متن کاملEfficient second-harmonic generation of tunable femtosecond pulses into the blue in periodically poled KTP
We report efficient single-pass second-harmonic generation of tunable femtosecond pulses into the blue in periodically poled KTP sPPKTPd. Using a 2 mm crystal with 4 μm grating period and femtosecond fundamental pulses at 76 MHz, we show that average powers of up to 320 mW in the blue at conversation efficiencies as high as 20% are attainable despite the limitations of group velocity mismatch a...
متن کاملTip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy with Picosecond Pulses.
Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) can probe chemistry occurring at surfaces with both nanometer spectroscopic and submolecular spatial resolution. Combining ultrafast spectroscopy with TERS allows for picosecond and, in principle, femtosecond temporal resolution. Here we couple an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) with a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM)-TERS microscope to excite the t...
متن کاملQuantum coherent saturable absorption for mid-infrared ultra-short pulses.
We theoretically show that quantum coherent saturable absorption can be used to obtain ultra-short pulses from mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). In this proposal, quantum cascade structures are processed as two electrically isolated sections. The two sections will be biased with two different voltages so that one of the sections produces gain as is done in typical QCLs, while the othe...
