Abstract
An all-solid-state continuous-wave (cw) laser system for measurements of the absorption by the CO molecule of mid-infrared radiation in the 4.3-4.6 μm range is described, wherein a single-mode, tunable output of a 70 mW, 860-nm ECDL is difference frequency mixed with the output of a 550 mW diode-pumped cw Nd:YAG laser in a PPLN crystal to produce approximately 1 μW of tunable cw radiation at 4.5 μm.
