Mid-Infrared Nonlinear Optical Materials Based on Metal Chalcogenides: Structure–Property Relationship
TL;DR: In this paper, the discovery of superior mid-IR NLO metal chalcogenides is still a big challenge mainly due to the difficulty of achieving a good balance between the NLO effect and laser damage threshold (LDT).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate a simple, yet effective, method for the direct generation of mid-infrared optical frequency combs in the region from 2.5 to 4.0μm from a conventional and compact erbium-fibre-based femtosecond laser in the telecommunication band.

TL;DR: In this paper, an all-fiber pumped optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier (OPCPA) was proposed to generate self-carrier-to-envelope-phase stable, sub-eight-optical-cycle duration pulses at 7 μm wavelength approaching millijoule-level pulse energy at 100 Hz repetition rate.

Next-generation mid-infrared sources
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the current state-of-the-art mid-IR sources, in particular thermal emitters, which have long been utilized, and the relatively new quantumand interband-cascade lasers, as well as the applications served by these sources.
