Abstract

Broadband transient fluorescence spectroscopy is performed by difference- and sum-frequency generation in β-barium borate crystals at a fixed geometry. Phase matching is spectrally broadened by using (i) 1340 nm gate pulses, (ii) a fluorescence angle of ∼4° extended at the crystal, and (iii) angular dispersion of the fluorescence in a calcite prism. The latter provides 1° angular separation between the two spectral wings of the fluorescence. By combining down- and up-conversion processes, a 26 000 cm−1 wide multiplex window is realized with ∼100 fs time resolution.
