Abstract
Mid-infrared femtosecond optical frequency combs at 2.8 - 3.5 υm 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 at the 1.5 υm signal, which yields powers above 500 mW (3 υW/mode) in the 3 υm idler. Use of polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber amplifiers provided higher stability and reduced amplitude noise as compared to non-PM fiber systems. Dual-comb absorption spectroscopy demonstrated for acetylene at 3 υm shows good prospect for broadband, high-resolution MIR molecular spectroscopy.Conference Dates
