研究目的
Investigating the generation of broadly tunable mid-IR radiation across 12.65 – 15 μm based on the DFG approach using an OP-GaAs crystal.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated the generation of broadly tunable mid-IR radiation across 12.65 – 15 μm using DFG in an OP-GaAs crystal, enabling high-resolution spectroscopic investigations of molecular fingerprints in this wavelength range.
研究不足
The output power of the idler laser is relatively low, with the highest achieved power being about 55 μW.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The experiment utilized difference-frequency generation (DFG) in an orientation-patterned (OP) GaAs crystal to generate tunable mid-IR radiation.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
An external-cavity quantum cascade laser (EC-QCL) and a tunable CO2 laser were used as pump and signal sources, respectively.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included an EC-QCL, optical isolator, CO2 laser, concave mirrors, beam combiner, parabolic mirrors, liquid-nitrogen-cooled HgCdTe detector, KBr lens, and longpass filter.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The pump and signal lasers were aligned and focused onto the OP-GaAs crystal, with the generated idler signal collected and analyzed.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The output power of the idler laser was measured at different signal wavelengths.
