Abstract

Nonlinear optical schemes for generation of terawatt femtosecond pulses in the range of 2-10 μm using multiterawatt laser radiation of the two-channel system created in the ILP SB RAS are presented and discussed. It is shown that the use of large aperture LBO crystals and AgGaGeS₄ for difference frequency generation and parametric amplification enables to generate a wideband radiation in the range of 2-10 μm.
