Abstract
With the help of nonlinear optics, laser radiation can now span the electromagnetic spectrum from X-rays to THz radiation. However the mid-infrared radiation region known to spectroscopists as the "fingerprint region" from 5 to 20 µm still has very few coherent sources. Two-color chirped pulse amplification laser systems have been developed to generate mid-infrared wavelengths longer than 8µm by difference frequency mixing.
