Longwave infrared (6.6-11.4 µm) dual-comb spectroscopy with 240,000 comb-mode-resolved data points at video rate.

Using sub-3-cycle pulses from mode-locked Cr:ZnS lasers at λ ≈ 2.4 µm as a driving source, we performed high-resolution dual-frequency-comb spectroscopy in the longwave infrared (LWIR) range. A duo of highly coherent broadband (6.

Multi-octave visible to long-wave IR femtosecond continuum generated in Cr:ZnS-GaSe tandem.

We report a technique for generation of broad and coherent femtosecond (fs) continua that span several octaves from visible to long-wave IR parts of the spectrum (0.4-18 µm). The approach is based on simultaneous amplification of few-cycle pulses at 2.

New optical gating technique for detection of electric field waveforms with subpicosecond resolution.

The new optical gating technique uses a femtosecond optical laser pulses for the photoconductive detection of short pulses of terahertz (THz) radiation. This technique reproduces the shape of the THz pulse and after pulse plasmonic response of the two-dimensional electron gas in a short channel high electron mobility transistor (HEMT). The results are in excellent agreement with the electro-optic effect measurements and with the simulation results obtained in the frame of a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model.
