Tunable coherent IR and FIR sources utilizing modulational instability

A new tunable coherent infrared (IR) source is presented. It utilizes the sideband produced by modulational instability of an optical signal in a fiber which results from a combination of anomalous dispersion and the nonlinear Kerr effect. The generated frequency is in proportion to the square root of the optical pump signal. A coherent IR signal is generated by extracting the sideband.
