Abstract
We have newly developed, to the best of our knowledge, a detection method for broadband infrared pulses based on sum-frequency generation spectroscopy in reflection geometry, which can avoid a restriction of the detection bandwidth originating from the phase mismatch that is inevitable for the upconversion in transmission geometry. Using a GaAs crystal, we successfully demonstrated the ultra-broadband detection of the infrared pulses generated from a two-color laser-induced air plasma filament in a region from 300 to 3300 cm-1. With the advantage of ultra-short infrared pulses, the present detection method holds promise for application to time-resolved, ultra-broadband vibrational spectroscopy.
