摘要
We investigate the nonlinear optical properties of ZnSe and ZnS using ultrashort (pulse duration approximately 200 fs) midwave infrared laser pulses between 3 and 4 mu m. Multiple harmonic generation in both materials was observed, as well as significant spectral modification of the fundamental pulse. Simulations using a nonlinear polarization model enhanced with ionization compared favorably with experimental data. Random quasi phase matching in the materials is the likely generator of the observed harmonics.
