Abstract
Noncollinear difference frequency mixing of dye laser and Nd:YAG second har monic (fundamental) radiation from a commercial laser system is employed fo r the generation of 2.7-5.3 mu m (1.6-1.7 mu m) radiations in a flux-grown KTiOAsO4 crystal. The generated radiation is used to scan the methane absor ption in the fundamental (upsilon(3)) and its first overtone (2 upsilon(3)) band at pressure 90 torr in a laboratory made single pass gas cell of leng th 33 cm.
