Fourth-order cascaded Raman shift in AsSe chalcogenide suspended-core fiber pumped at 2 μm.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cascaded Raman wavelength shifting up to the fourth order ranging from 2092 to 2450 nm is demonstrated using a nanosecond pump at 1995 nm in a low-loss As(38)Se(62) suspended-core microstructured fiber. These four Stokes shifts are obtained with a low peak power of 11 W, and only 3 W are required to obtain three shifts. The Raman gain coefficient for the fiber is estimated to (1.6±0.5)×10(-11) m/W at 1995 nm. The positions and the amplitudes of the Raman peaks are well reproduced by the numerical simulations of the nonlinear propagation.

On the possibility of mid-IR supercontinuum generation in As-Se-Te/As-S core/clad fibers with all-fiber femtosecond pump source
We propose and optimize theoretically a supercontinuum (SC) laser source in the mid-IR based on using As-SeTe/As-S core/clad step-index fibers and a femtosecond all-fiber laser system at 2 μm. Numerically simulated spectra extending from ~1 μm to more than 8 μm are demonstrated for pump energy of order 100 pJ in a fiber with a core diameter of 2 μm. To the best of our knowledge, the possibility...
متن کاملSilica-based fiber Raman laser at > 2.4 μm.
Raman laser generation at the long wavelength transmission edge of silica fiber is explored. Numerical simulation reveals that high efficiency 2nd Stokes Raman laser operation around 2.5 μm is feasible with highly Ge-doped silica fiber as the gain medium and pulsed 2-μm fiber laser as the pump source. Based on the spontaneous cascaded Raman amplification process, 0.30-W laser at 2.43 μm is obta...

We demonstrate a fibre laser source generating ultrashort pulses tunable in the range 2-2.5 μm. The source is based on a hybrid Er/Tm fiber laser system and microstructured suspended-core tellurite fiber where Raman soliton shifting occurs. Nonlinear soliton dynamics is studied and possibility of tuning beyond 3 μm is shown.
متن کاملLow loss microstructured chalcogenide fibers for large non linear effects at 1995 nm.
Microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) are traditionally prepared using the stack and draw technique. In order to avoid the interfaces problems observed in chalcogenide glasses, we have developed a new casting method to prepare the chalcogenide preform. This method allows to reach optical losses around 0.4 dB/m at 1.55 µm and less than 0.05 dB/m in the mid IR. Various As(38)Se(62) chalcogenide m...

We present, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of a 2 μm Brillouin laser based on a thulium-doped fiber pump and a chalcogenide fiber. A short 1.5 m piece of suspended-core chalcogenide As38Se62 fiber is employed as a gain medium, taking advantage of its small effective mode area and high Brillouin gain coefficient. A record-low lasing threshold of 52 mW is achieved, which is...
