In recent years, new methods of generating continuum mid-infrared pulses through
filamentation in gases have been developed for ultrafast time-resolved infrared vibrational …

While the mid-infrared spectral region spans more than 3000 cm− 1, ultrafast mid-IR
spectroscopies are normally limited to the spectral bandwidth that can be generated in …

Several optical techniques that are often employed to generate mid-IR pulses are discussed.
These are based on a difference frequency generation (DFG) process for mixing signal and …

Lithium niobate nanophotonic structures have recently become a promising candidate for
efficient nonlinear frequency-conversion processes. Here, the second harmonic generation …

Optical parametric amplification (OPA) is a powerful technique for generating mid-IR
