Abstract :
A wavelength tunable mid-infrared 3-μm waveband light source with an effective intracavity system is successfully demonstrated using a high-performance 805-nm-band laser diode excitation. Advantages include wide-tunability (approx. 90-nm), simple wavelength controllability, and a small footprint.
