Mid-infrared trace gas detection using continuous-wave difference frequency generation in periodically poled RbTiOAsO4.
A tunable mid-infrared continuous-wave (cw) spectroscopic source in the 3.4-4.5 micrometers region is reported, based on difference frequency generation (DFG) in a quasi-phase-matched periodically poled RbTiOAsO4 (PPRTA) crystal. DFG power levels of 10 microW were generated at approximately 4 micrometers in a 20-mm long PPRTA crystal by mixing two cw single-frequency Ti:Al2O3 lasers operating n...
متن کاملStable isotopic analysis of atmospheric methane by infrared spectroscopy by use of diode laser difference-frequency generation.
An infrared absorption spectrometer has been constructed to measure the stable isotopic composition of atmospheric methane samples. The spectrometer employs periodically poled lithium niobate to generate 15 microW of tunable difference-frequency radiation from two near-infrared diode lasers that probe the nu3 rotational-vibrational band of methane at 3.4 microm. To enhance the signal, methane i...
متن کاملRapid communication Characterization of optical and nonlinear properties of periodically-poled RbTiOAsO4 in the mid-infrared range via difference-frequency generation
Tunable mid-infrared coherent radiation (3.25− 3.7 μm) is generated by quasi-phase-matched difference frequency generation in a multi-grating periodically-poled RbTiOAsO4 crystal. The spontaneous polarization and coercive field of flux-grown RbTiOAsO4 are determined by polarization switching measurements. The nonlinear interaction enables us to explore the optical and nonlinear properties of th...
متن کاملTunable terahertz-wave generation from DAST crystal by dual signal-wave parametric oscillation of periodically poled lithium niobate.
The first known demonstration of tunable terahertz-wave generation by difference-frequency generation of dual signal-wave quasi-phase-matched optical parametric oscillation was performed with periodically poled LiNbO(3) (PPLN) with a series of gratings. An organic ionic salt, 4-dimethylamino-N-methyl-4-stilbazolium-tosylate (DAST), was used as a nonlinear crystal. A compact terahertz-wave sourc...
متن کاملMid-infrared difference-frequency generation in periodically poled KTiOAsO(4) and application to gas sensing.
Tunable mid-infrared radiation (3.45-3.75 microm) with a power level of 0.14 microW is generated by quasi-phase-matched difference-frequency mixing of a Nd:YAG laser and a tunable-diode laser (near 1.5 microm) in multigrating periodically poled KTiOAsO(4) . The wavelength and temperature bandwidths are approximately 65 nm cm and approximately 62 degrees C, respectively. The temperature-tuning s...
