Coherent broadband pulse shaping in the mid infrared.

چکیده
We demonstrate broadband infrared pulse shaping by difference-frequency mixing of two visible phase-locked linearly chirped pulses in GaAs. Control of the temporal profile of the emitted field is achieved through this direct tailoring of the exciting visible intensity. The results are in agreement with a simulation with no adjustable parameter.

متن کاملAn octave-spanning mid-infrared frequency comb generated in a silicon nanophotonic wire waveguide
Laser frequency combs, sources with a spectrum consisting of hundred thousands evenly spaced narrow lines, have an exhilarating potential for new approaches to molecular spectroscopy and sensing in the mid-infrared region. The generation of such broadband coherent sources is presently under active exploration. Technical challenges have slowed down such developments. Identifying a versatile high...
متن کاملDirect mid-infrared femtosecond pulse shaping with a calomel acousto-optic programmable dispersive filter.
Direct amplitude and phase shaping of mid-infrared femtosecond pulses is realized with a calomel-based acousto-optic programmable dispersive filter transparent between 0.4 and 20 μm. The shaped pulse electric field is fully characterized with high accuracy, using chirped-pulse upconversion and time-encoded arrangement spectral phase interferometry for direct electric field reconstruction techni...
متن کاملFree-space electro-optics sampling of mid-infrared pulses
Despite the rapid advance of terahertz optoelectronics in the recent decade, the frequency region above 10 THz has yet been accessible for coherent detection. Whereas Katzenllenbogen et al. reported a frequency response of 6 THz from their photoconducting dipole antenna ~PDA!, the record was recently pushed to 7 THz with a much broader 3-dB bandwidth in a GaP-based free-space electro-optic samp...
متن کاملBroadband degenerate OPO for mid-infrared frequency comb generation.
We present a new technique suitable for generating broadband phase- and frequency-locked frequency combs in the mid-infrared. Our source is based on a degenerate optical parametric oscillator (OPO) which rigorously both down-converts and augments the spectrum of a pump frequency comb provided by a commercial mode-locked near-IR laser. Low intracavity dispersion, combined with extensive cross-mi...
