ABSTRACT:
This invention converts the fixed wavelength of a laser beam into a multiplicity of spectral output beams. The conversion process is achieved by means of an arrangement of nonlinear optical crystals in which parametric interaction generates a pair of tunable output beams in each crystal. The arrangement utilizes two stages of sequential (cascaded) parametric conversion which produces output radiation in the 2 to 5 micrometer spectral region from a laser with an output wavelength of 1 micrometer.
