  • Abstract
    Efficient generation of high-power difference-frequency radiation, continuously tunable over the range of 4.4-5.7 \\mu m, has been achieved by mixing the Nd :YAG laser and Nd :YAG pumped infrared dye-laser outputs in LiIO3. Peak pulse powers as high as 550 kW with an average power output of 45 mW were obtained around 4.9μm.
