The development of parametric devices down-converting the laser frequency to the mid-
infrared (3–30 µm) based on non-oxide nonlinear optical crystals is reviewed. Such devices …

There has been a recent surge in interest for optical satellite communication (SatCom)
utilizing lasers. It is clear to see why, as optical SatCom is capable of higher speed, lighter …

The mid-infrared spectral region opens up new possibilities for applications such as
molecular spectroscopy with high spatial and frequency resolution. For example, the mid …
