Ultrafast switching of CO₂ laser pulses by optically-induced plasma reflection in semiconductors

Ultrafast mid-infrared laser pulse generation using optical semiconductor switching is investigated experimentally for application to subpicosecond CO₂ laser pulse generation at 10.6 μm. Time-resolved infrared measurements, which are based on cross-correlation and reflection-reflection correlatio...
