Generation of mid-infrared radiation by self-difference frequency mixing in chromium-doped zinc selenide.
We report what we believe to be the first demonstration of mid-infrared generation (approximately 9 microm) by self-difference frequency generation in Fresnel birefringence quasi-phase-matched Cr:ZnSe laser slabs.
