The Thorlabs SC4500 is the world's first commercially available femtosecond-laser-pumped MIR Supercontinuum Source. This source emits over a wavelength range from approximately 1.3 μm to 4.5 μm (7700 cm-1 to 2200 cm-1) with >300 mW of average output power in a collimated beam. More than 110 mW of the output power is within the 2.2 - 4.2 µm (4500 cm-1 - 2400 cm-1) range, which overlaps with many gas absorption lines and other molecular signatures. The brightness of this source exceeds traditional Globars and even synchrotron sources by orders of magnitude.
