Efficient generation of few-cycle pulses beyond 10 μm from an optical parametric amplifier pumped by a 1-µm laser system

Abstract Nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy profits from broadband sources emitting in the molecular fingerprint region. Yet, broadband lasers operating at wavelengths above 7 μm have been lacking, while traditional cascaded parametric frequency down-conversion schemes suffer from exceedingly low co...
