Abstract
We demonstrate a compact mid-IR system using difference frequency generation based on a femtosecond Ytterbium fiber laser system operating at a repetition rate of 100 MHz. By utilizing the fundamental 1 µm emission of the Yb-laser system and the widely wavelength-tuneable soliton emission of a PCF, high output power levels of more than 100 mW are realized over a large tuning range from 3 µm to 4.9 µm. This system demonstrates a powerful and widely tuneable femtosecond mid-IR source in a compact and robust design for applications such as infrared microscopy and spectroscopy.
