Difference Frequency Generation, DFG, can be used to generate wavelengths in the 2-5µm range by mixing two shorter wavelengths in a suitable PPLN crystal. Stratophase’s standard DFG crystals are designed to produce light at the difference between the frequencies of a fixed frequency Nd:YAG laser and a tuneable Ti Sappire, or similar lasers. The output wavelength is selected by tuning the input laser, selecting the correct grating in the PPLN crystal and varing the PPLN temperature.
