Laser frequency combs are coherent light sources that emit a broad spectrum of discrete, evenly spaced narrow lines whose absolute frequency can be measured to within the …
Dual-comb spectroscopy performed in the mid-infrared—where molecules have their strongest rotovibrational absorption lines—offers the promise of high spectral resolution …
Optical frequency combs act as rulers in the frequency domain and have opened new avenues in many fields such as fundamental time metrology, spectroscopy and frequency …
Terahertz light can be used to identify numerous complex molecules, but has traditionally remained unexploited due to the lack of powerful broadband sources. Pulsed lasers can be …
Ultrafast fiber lasers have the potential to make applications of ultrashort pulses widespread– techniques not only for scientists, but also for doctors, manufacturing engineers, and more …
It was recently demonstrated that broadband quantum cascade lasers can operate as frequency combs. As such, they operate under direct electrical pumping at both mid-infrared …
The mid-infrared (mid-IR) is a wavelength range with a variety of technologically vital applications in molecular sensing, security and defense, energy conservation, and …
The generation of stable trains of ultrashort (femtosecond to picosecond), terahertz- frequency radiation pulses with large instantaneous intensities is an underlying requirement …
Pulsed lasers operating in the mid-infrared (3–20 μm) are important for a wide range of applications in sensing, spectroscopy, imaging and communications. Despite recent …
