“…Particularly, the 3–5 μm region, the functional group region, is interesting as it hosts the first mid-IR atmospheric window, and contains the molecular fingerprint of many hydrocarbons, nitrogen dioxide, greenhouse gases, and specimens detectable in breath analysis 3 . Besides direct mid-IR generation with quantum cascade lasers 4 , interband cascade lasers 5 , and Fe 2+ doped crystals 6 , wavelength conversion in nonlinear materials is a promising solution to reach the mid-IR spectral range. Very efficient conversion towards mid-IR has been demonstrated through frequency-divide-by-two optical parametric oscillators 7,8 and difference frequency generation (DFG) between two telecom band signals 913 .…”

“…Then, the beam is reflected from the concave mirror, and then, after the last amplification within the active gaseous medium, comes out of the laser system through aperture ( 16 ). An insignificant fraction of the laser beam, after reflection from beam splitter ( 17 ), falls on energy meter ( 18 ).…”

“…[10,11] In 2011, Kozlovsky et al demonstrated a laser with tunable wavelength within the range of 3.49-4.65 µm for the first time, by using Fe 2+ :ZnS crystal as gain material. [12] Subsequently, plenty of work on the investigations of Fe doped ZnS has been published. [13][14][15][16][17][18] Due to the electron-vibrational transitions 5 E→ 5 T 2 of Fe 2+ (electron configuration 3d 6 ) substituting the Zn 2+ cations in the tetragonal position, [19] it also provides a wide absorption band cen-tered around 3 µm and can be applied to passively Q-switched lasers.…”
