Abstract
An optical system including a laser system for generating a plurality of coaxial laser beams. The laser beams are combined by the laser system for generating at least two different frequency components. One or more hollow core photonic crystal fibers each filled with a noble gas receive the coaxial laser beams from the laser system and generate an idler emission having an idler frequency component according to four-wave mixing of the at least two different frequency components in the one or more hollow core photonic crystal fibers. A control system is configured to control a gas pressure of the one or more hollow core photonic crystal fibers for controlling the idler frequency component of the idler emission.
