Mid-infrared laser frequency combs are compelling sources for precise and sensitive metrology with applications in molecular spectroscopy and spectro-imaging. The infrared atmospheric window between 3-5.5 $mu$m in particular provides vital information regarding molecular composition. Using a robust, fiber-optic source of few-cycle pulses in the near-infrared, we experimentally demonstrate ultra-broad bandwidth nonlinear phenomena including harmonic and difference frequency generation in a single pass through periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN). These $chi^{(2)}$ nonlinear optical processes result in the generation of frequency combs across the mid-infrared atmospheric window which we employ for dual-comb spectroscopy of acetone and carbonyl sulfide with resolution as high as 0.003 cm$^{-1}$. Moreover, cascaded $chi^{(2)}$ nonlinearities in the same PPLN directly provide the carrier-envelope offset frequency of the near-infrared driving pulse train in a compact geometry.
Optical frequency combs (OFCs) at Mid-Infrared (MIR) wavelengths are essential for applications in precise spectroscopy, gas sensing and molecular fingerprinting, because of its revolutionary precision in both wavelength and frequency domain. The mic
BGGSe is a newly developed nonlinear material that is attractive for ultrabroad frequency mixing and ultrashort pulse generation due to its comparably low dispersion and high damage threshold.In a first experiment, we show that a long crystal length
We report an all-polarization-maintaining fiber optic approach to generating sub-2 cycle pulses at 2 {mu}m and a corresponding octave-spanning optical frequency comb. Our configuration leverages mature Er:fiber laser technology at 1.5 {mu}m to provid
High harmonic generation driven by femtosecond lasers makes it possible to capture the fastest dynamics in molecules and materials. However, to date the shortest attosecond (as) pulses have been produced only in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) region o
We analyze the role of the difference between the central frequencies of the spectral distributions of the vector potential and the electric field of a short laser pulse. The frequency shift arises when the electric field is determined as the derivat
