Middle-IR frequency comb based on Cr:ZnS laser
Abstract
We report, to the best of our knowledge, the first fully referenced Cr:ZnS optical frequency comb. The comb features few cycle output pulses with 3.25 W average power at 80 MHz repetition rate, spectrum spanning 60 THz in the middle-IR range 1.79–2.86 µm, and a small footprint (0.1 m2 ), The spectral components used for the measurement of the comb’s carrier envelope offset frequency were obtained directly inside the polycrystalline Cr:ZnS laser medium via intrinsic nonlinear interferometry. Using this scheme we stabilized the offset frequency of the comb with the residual phase noise of 75 mrads.
