We demonstrate spectroscopic imaging using a compact ultra-broadband terahertz semiconductor source with a high-power, mid-infrared quantum cascade laser. The electrically pumped monolithic source is based on intra-cavity difference-frequency generation and can be designed to achieve an ultra-broadband multi-mode terahertz emission spectrum extending from 1–4 THz without any external optical setup. Spectroscopic imaging was performed with three frequency bands, 2.0 THz, 2.5 THz and 3.0 THz, and as a result, this imaging technique clearly identified three different tablet components (polyethylene, D-histidine and DL-histidine). This method may be highly suitable for quality monitoring of pharmaceutical materials.

Abstract We report on the generation of a mid-infrared (mid-IR) frequency comb with a maximum average output power of 250 mW and tunability in the 2.7–4.0 μm region. The approach is based on a single-stage difference frequency generation (DFG) starting from a compact Yb-doped fiber laser system. The repetition rate of the near-infrared (NIR) comb is locked at 75 MHz. The phase noise of the repetition rate in the offset-free mid-IR comb system is measured and analyzed. Except for the intrinsic of NIR comb, environmental noise at low frequency and quantum noise at high frequency from the amplifier chain and nonlinear spectral broadening are the main noise sources of broadening the linewidth of comb teeth, which limits the precision of mid-IR dual-comb spectroscopy.
