Widely-tunable mid-infrared frequency comb source based on difference frequency generation.
We report on a mid-IR frequency comb source of unprecedented tunability covering the entire 3-10 μm molecular fingerprint region. The system is based on difference frequency generation in a GaSe crystal pumped by a 151 MHz Yb:fiber frequency comb. The process was seeded with Raman-shifted solitons generated in a highly nonlinear suspended-core fiber with the same source. Average powers up to 1....
متن کاملFrequency-comb-based absolute frequency measurements in the mid-infrared with a difference-frequency spectrometer.
We demonstrate the possibility of extending the well-established metrological performance of optical frequency-comb synthesizers to the mid-IR region by phase locking the pump and signal lasers of a difference-frequency source to two near-IR teeth of an optical comb. An uncertainty of 800 Hz (1.1 x 10(-11)) in the absolute frequencies of CO2 transitions near 4.2 microm has been measured by cavi...
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...
متن کاملMid-Infrared Difference Frequency-Generation with Synchronized Fiber Lasers
We present results on high-average power difference frequency generation of pulsed Yb/Er fiber systems to the mid-IR (6.2 W at 3.35 μm), and use focused Gaussian beam theory to validate our experimental results. OCIS codes: (190.4970) Parametric oscillators and amplifiers; (140.3070) Infrared and far-infrared lasers; (140.3510) Lasers, fiber
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...
