Spectroscopy in the molecular fingerprint spectral region (6.7–20 µm) yields critical information on material structure for physical, chemical, and biological sciences. Despite decades of interest effort, this portion electromagnetic spectrum remains challenging to cover with conventional laser technologies. In paper, we present a simple robust method generating super-octave, optical frequency combs through intra-pulse difference generation an orientation-patterned gallium phosphide crystal....

Mid-infrared laser frequency combs are compelling sources for precise and sensitive metrology with applications in molecular spectroscopy spectro-imaging. The infrared atmospheric window between 3-5.5 $\mu$m particular provides vital information regarding composition.

We report on the development of a high-power mid-infrared frequency comb with 100 MHz repetition rate and fs pulse duration. Difference generation is realized between two branches derived from an Er:fiber comb, amplified separately in Yb:fiber amplifiers. Average powers 6.7 W 14.9 are generated 2.9 µm idler 1.6 signal, respectively. With high average power, excellent beam quality, passive carrier-envelope phase stabilization, this light source promising platform for generating broadband...

Salicylideneaniline (SA) is an archetypal system for excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) in non-planar systems. Multiple channels relaxation involving both the keto and enol forms have been proposed after excitation to S1 with near-UV light. Here, we present transient absorption measurements of hot gas-phase SA, jet-cooled SA Ar clusters using cavity-enhanced spectroscopy (CE-TAS). Assignment spectra aided by simulated TAS spectra, computed applying time-dependent complete...

Transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) is among the most common ultrafast photochemical experiments, but its interpretation remains challenging. In this work, we present an efficient and robust method for simulating TAS signals from first principles. Excited-state stimulated emission (SE) are computed using time-dependent complete active space configuration interaction (TD-CASCI) simulations, leveraging robustness of time-domain simulation to minimize electronic structure failure.
