Difference frequency generation of 5–18 μm in a AgGaSe2 crystal

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Mid-infrared radiation in the 5–18-μm range has been obtained by difference frequency generation in a AgGaSe2 crystal by pumping with the output of a type I LiNbO3 optical parametric oscillator (OPO). Here we suggest the use of a LiTaO3 retarder to achieve an orthogonal state of polarization between OPO outputs that are necessary for efficient pumping of a AgGaSe2 crystal. Several tens of kilowatts of peak power near 8 μm and continuously tunable operation in the above range have been obtained.
