Near-single-cycle long-wave infrared pulses for coherent linear and nonlinear optics

Abstract

We generate and detect phase-stable, near-single-cycle long-wave-infrared pulses using intrapulse difference-frequency generation and dual frequency comb electro-optic sampling, respectively. Applications such as high-resolution, super-octave spectroscopy and parametric amplification are described. (c) 2019 The Author(s)
