Abstract
Tunable narrow-band cw difference-frequency generation at 8.7 mu m was demonstrated in silver gallium selenide (AgGaSe2) at room temperature . The crystal was pumped by an injection-seeded Er/Yb-codoped fiber am plifier at 1.554 mu m and a fiber-coupled diode-pumped monolithic ring Nd:YAG laser at 1.319 mu m. The difference-frequency output was used for high-resolution spectroscopy of sulfur dioxide (SO2). (C) 1996 Opt ical Society of America
