We report the generation and characterization of microjoule level, broad bandwidth femtosecond pulses in the mid-infrared (MIR) using optical parametric amplification of continuum MIR seed pulses in GaSe. The signal (3 μm) and idler (6 μm) pulses have energies of 6 μJ and 3 μJ with bandwidths of ∼950 cm⁻¹and 650 cm⁻¹FWHM and pulse lengths of 34 fs and 80 fs. Broadband 2D IR spectra of O-H and N-H transitions are acquired with the signal beam demonstrating the capabilities of this source for cross peak and line shape measurements.
