The merger of molecular spectroscopy with microscopy is certainly not a new concept. Microscope attachments for FT-IR spectrometers have been available for nearly two decades and there are literally thousands of FT-IR spectrometers with these devices currently installed. The vast majority of them are applied to contaminant or forensic oriented problems. As such, the microscopes are often used as sophisticated beam condensers, enabling the spectrometer to focus infrared radiation on the samples that are typically larger than 10 microns.

A 3–5 μm mid-infrared band is a good window for atmospheric transmission. It has the advantages of high contrast and strong penetration under high humidity conditions. Therefore, it has important applications in the fields of laser medicine, laser radar, environmental monitoring, remote sensing, molecular spectroscopy, industrial processing, space communication and photoelectric confrontation. In this paper, the application background of mid-infrared laser is summarized. The ways to realize mid-infrared laser output are described by optical parametric oscillation, mid-infrared solid-state laser doped with different active ions and fiber laser doped with different rare earth ions. The advantages and disadvantages of various mid-infrared lasers are briefly described. The technical approaches, schemes and research status of mid-infrared lasers are introduced.

Abstract Traditionally, there has been a trade-off in spectroscopic measurements between high resolution, broadband coverage, and acquisition time. Originally envisioned for precision spectroscopy of the hydrogen atom in the ultraviolet, optical frequency combs are now commonly used for probing molecular ro-vibrational transitions throughout broad spectral bands in the mid-infrared providing superior resolution, speed, and the capability of referencing to the primary frequency standards. Here we demonstrate the acquisition of 2.5 million spectral data points over the continuous wavelength range of 3.17–5.13 µm (frequency span 1200 cm−1, sampling point spacing 13–21 MHz), via interleaving comb-tooth-resolved spectra acquired with a highly-coherent broadband dual-frequency-comb system based on optical subharmonic generation. With the original comb-line spacing of 115 MHz, overlaying eight spectra with gradually shifted comb lines we fully resolve the amplitude and phase spectra of molecules with narrow Doppler lines, such as carbon disulfide (CS2) and its three isotopologues.

Mid-infrared supercontinuum (SC) sources in the 2 to 20 µm molecular fingerprint region are in high demand for a wide range of applications including optical coherence tomography, remote sensing, molecular spectroscopy, and hyperspectral imaging. In this work, we investigate mid-IR SC generation in a cascaded silica-ZBLAN-chalcogenide fiber system directly pumped with a commercially available 460-ps pulsed fiber laser operating in the telecommunications window at 1.55 µm. This all-fiber system is shown to generate a flat broadband mid-IR SC covering the entire range from 2 to 10 µm with severaltens of mWof output power. This technique paves the way for cheaper, practical, and robust broadband SC sources in the mid-IR without the requirement of mid-infrared pump sources or Thulium-dopedfiber amplifiers. We also describe a fully realistic numerical model used to simulate the nonlinear pulse propagation through the cascaded fiber system and we use our numerical results to discuss the physical processes underlying the spectral broadening in the cascaded system. We conclude with recommendations to optimize the current cascaded systems based on our simulation results.
