Abstract
Tunable mid-infrared sources can be created using crystals having second-order non-linearities and solid-state lasers operating in the near infrared. Such devices have already demonstrated large tuning ranges and high efficiency. Performance of these devices as well as their potential for higher output energies and narrow spectral bandwidth operation are analyzed in terms of nonlinear crystal properties and solid-state laser requirements.Keywords
