We report difference-frequency generation (DFG) in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) around 4.25 mu m using a cw Nd:YAG and an injection-locked diode laser. This system provides a narrow linewidth source at 4.25 mu m with near-shot-noise-limited operation. A conversion efficiency close to the theoretical limit is obtained. Detection of CO2 absorption spectra is demonstrated and further improvements and applications to high sensitivity spectroscopy are discussed.

Abstract
We report difference-frequency generation (DFG) in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) around 4.25 mu m using a cw Nd:YAG and an injection-locked diode laser. This system provides a narrow linewidth source at 4.25 mu m with near-shot-noise-limited operation. A conversion efficiency close to the theoretical limit is obtained. Detection of CO2 absorption spectra is demonstrated and further improvements and applications to high sensitivity spectroscopy are discussed.File in questo prodotto:
