Abstract

Stable subpicosecond infrared pulses in the spectral region of 4.5–11.5 μm are generated by difference-frequency mixing in AgGaS_2. The system uses femtosecond pulses from a Ti:sapphire regenerative amplifier and from a tunable traveling-wave dye laser. The infrared pulses have a duration of 400 fs, an energy of more than 10 nJ, and a repetition rate of 1 kHz.
