Narrow Band 1.2-2.2 Micrometer Light via CW Nd:YAG/Dye Laser Difference FrequencyGeneration: Application to the Overtone Absorption Spectrum of ArHF

摘要

The generation of continuously tunable, cw 1.2-2.2 um light by the differencefrequency mixing of a cw Nd:YAG laser from a cw ring dye laser in temperature phase matched LiNbO3 is described. The system produces on the order of 20 uW of
