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 …

Bright squeezed vacuum, a promising tool for quantum information, can be generated by
high-gain parametric down-conversion. However, its frequency and angular spectra are …

We extend an approach based upon sum-frequency generation of oppositely chirped pulses
to narrow the bandwidths of broadband femtosecond pulses. We efficiently generate near …

We report on the generation of narrowband carrier-envelope phase stable mid-infrared
(MIR) pulses between 10 and 15 μm. High pulse energies and narrow bandwidths are …

The possibility to exploit shaped ultrabroadband laser pulses for molecular coherent control
offers a unique implementation of numerous nonlinear spectroscopic methods in one setup …

We extend the technique of difference-frequency mixing of broadband chirped near-infrared
(IR) pulses to longer wavelengths, thereby generating high-energy, bandwidth-tunable laser …

The amplification of light has had an exceptional impact on both science and technology.
The amplification of other bosonic excitations, like phonons or magnons, is also believed to …

Femtosecond IR-pump-IR-probe experiments with independently tunable pulses are used to
monitor the ultrafast response of selected IR absorption bands to vibrational excitation of …
