Abstract :
We present broadband difference frequency generation into the mid-infrared based on a femtosecond dual-signal-wavelength optical parametric oscillator for near-field microscopy applications as well as a high-repetition-rate optical parametric amplifier for FTIR spectroscopy applications.
