Abstract
Coherent mid-IR radiation throughout the 3.6 to 4.3 mu m wavelength ra nge is generated by difference frequency mixing (DFM) of wavelength-tu nable laser diodes in periodically-poled LiNbO3 (PPLN). Mid-IR power l evels up to 7.1 mu W and DFM conversion efficiencies up to 0.015%/Wcm are demonstrated.
