Abstract
Numerical simulations of the parametric difference-frequency-mixing pr ocess in the femtosecond regime are presented. The calculations indica te that sub-100 fs pulses may be produced in the 3 to 5 mu m range usi ng available sources. Theoretical results are compared to experiments on asynchronous frequency-mixing of two femtosecond Ti:sapphire lasers .
