摘要： Systems, devices, and methods of the present invention provide for the effective generation of high-speed modulated light using difference frequency generation (DFG). Modulated light in the mid-IR region may be generated in an optical resonator with a DFG device and having a Q factor greater than about 50 for a signal light with a wavelength in the range between 1350 and 1550 nm. A DFG device may generate the modulated mid-IR light by collinear passage of the intracavity signal light and a modulated pump light having a wavelength in the range between 1000 and 1100 nm through the DFG device. The modulated pump could be used for pumping both a signal lasing media and a DFG device at the same time.
