Mid-IR multiwavelength difference frequency generation based on fiber lasers.
A mid-IR multiwavelength difference frequency generation (DFG) laser source with fiber laser fundamental lights is demonstrated by using the dispersion property of PPLN to broaden the quasi-phase-matching (QPM) acceptance bandwidth (BW). Our results show that the QPM BW for the pump YDFL is much larger than that for the signal EDFL. Using a multiwavelength YDFL and a single-wavelength EDFL as t...
متن کاملMid-infrared optical frequency combs based on difference frequency generation for molecular spectroscopy.
Mid-infrared femtosecond optical frequency combs were produced by difference frequency generation of the spectral components of a near-infrared comb in a 3-mm-long MgO:PPLN crystal. We observe strong pump depletion and 9.3 dB parametric gain in the 1.5 μm signal, which yields powers above 500 mW (3 μW/mode) in the idler with spectra covering 2.8 μm to 3.5 μm. Potential for broadband, high-resol...
متن کاملSimultaneous optical parametric oscillation and intracavity second-harmonic generation based on a hexagonally poled lithium tantalate.
Simultaneous optical parametric oscillation and intracavity second-harmonic generation based on a hexagonally poled lithium tantalate is reported. Both the optical parametric oscillation and the cascaded noncollinear second-order harmonic generation processes reach a high efficiency. A variety of possible self-doubling optical parametric oscillation processes indicate this hexagonally poled lit...
متن کاملContinuous-wave mid-infrared laser sources based on difference frequency generation
We report on recent developments of widely tunable, continuous-wave (CW) laser sources based on difference-frequency generation (DFG) in nonlinear optical materials. The state-of-the-art of CW DFG technology will be reviewed. Applications of the DFG-based laser source to high-resolution molecular spectroscopy and trace gas detection will be presented. New development trends of DFG will be discu...
متن کاملContinuous-wave 4.3-mum intracavity difference frequency generation in an optical parametric oscillator.
We have achieved 150 mW of cw output at 4.3mum, using difference frequency mixing in a singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO). We pumped the OPO cavity, which contains periodically poled LiNbO(3) (PPLN), with a 14-W 1.06-mum Nd:YAG laser to generate a signal at 1.7 mum and an idler at 2.8 mum. Mixing of the two waves at the same crystal temperature and grating spacing yielded emiss...
