A narrow-linewidth mid-IR source based on difference-frequency generation of an amplified 1.5 microm diode laser and a cw Tm-doped fiber laser in orientation-patterned (OP) GaAs has been developed and evaluated for spectroscopic applications. The source can be tuned to any frequency in the 7.6-8.2 microm range with an output power of 0.5 mW. The measured characteristics of the OP-GaAs sample demonstrate a high quality of the material.

Coherent broadband light generation has attracted massive attention due to its numerous applications ranging from metrology, sensing, and imaging to communication. In general, spectral broadening is realized via third-order and higher-order nonlinear optical processes (e.g.

In this study, we experimentally demonstrate a PPLN-based free-space to SMF (single-mode fiber) conversion system capable of efficient long-wavelength down-conversion from 518 nm, optimized for minimal loss in highly turbid water, to 1540 nm, which is ideal for low-loss transmission in standard SMF. Leveraging the nonlinear optical properties of periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN), we achieve a wavelength conversion efficiency of 1.6% through difference frequency generation while maintaining a received optical signal-to-noise ratio of 10.

A drawback of this technique lies in the inherent absorption peaks of nonlinear crystals, leaving several gaps in the spectral coverage. As an alternative type of organic crystal, hydrogen-bonded OH1 is promising to complement the existing gaps.

Sodium antiperovskite materials (APs) are a promising class of solid-state electrolytes owing to their high structural tolerance and good formability. However, few APs have been synthesized experimentally, indicating the necessity of exploring potential chemical spaces with higher ionic conductivities. Herein, through a combined particle swarm optimization algorithm, high-throughput first-principles calculations, ab initio molecular dynamics, and long time-scale machine-learning molecular dynamics simulations, strategies based on site-exchanging and anion clusters are shown to simultaneously enhance the thermal stability and sodium diffusivity in the designed APs.

Nonlinear, four-wave mixing vibrational spectroscopies are commonly used to probe electron-vibration coupling in isotropic media. Most of these methods rely on infrared and/or Raman transitions, but methods involving hyper-Raman transitions are also possible. Hyper difference frequency generation (HDFG) spectroscopy is an underdeveloped four-wave mixing vibrational spectroscopy based upon both infrared absorption and hyper-Raman scattering transitions.
