摘      要：The development of high-power,broadband sources of coherent mid-infrared radiation is currently the subject of intense research that is driven by a substantial number of existing and continuously emerging applications in medical diagnostics,spectroscopy,microscopy,and fundamental *** of the major,long-standing challenges in improving the performance of these applications has been the construction of compact,broadband mid-infrared radiation sources,which unify the properties of high brightness and spatial and temporal *** to the lack of such radiation sources,several emerging applications can be addressed only with infrared(IR)-beamlines in largescale synchrotron facilities,which are limited regarding user access and only partially fulfill these ***,we present a table-top,broadband,coherent mid-infrared light source that provides brightness at an unprecedented level that supersedes that of synchrotrons in the wavelength range between 3.7 and 18μm by several orders of *** result is enabled by a high-power,few-cycle Tm-doped fiber laser system,which is employed as a pump at 1.9μm wavelength for intrapulse difference frequency generation(IPDFG).IPDFG intrinsically ensures the formation of carrierenvelope-phase stable pulses,which provide ideal prerequisites for state-of-the-art spectroscopy and microscopy.
