Frequency Conversion of Slab Radio-Frequency Discharge CO and CO2 Lasers Into the Spectral Range ~2–20 μm (Review)

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Research that both initiated and developed a hybrid IR-laser system based on conversion of Q-switched slab radiofrequency discharge CO and CO2 lasers in various nonlinear crystals is reviewed. The developed broadband laser system operates in the spectral range from ~2 to ~20 μm because of generation of emission at difference and sum frequencies in these crystals.
