Generation of infrared supercontinuum covering 3-14 microm in dielectrics and semiconductors

Opt Lett. 1985 Dec 1;10(12):624-6. doi: 10.1364/ol.10.000624.

Abstract

Infrared supercontinua spanning the range 3-14 microm were observed when an intense pulse generated from a CO(2) laser was passed into GaAs, AgBr, ZnSe, and CdS crystals. These supercontinua have been qualitatively compared with theoretical predictions.
