چکیده
We report the design of an all-fiber continuous wave Short-Wave Infrared source capable to output up to 700 mW of power at 1940 nm. The source is tunable over wavelength intervals comprised between 1850 nm and 2070 nm depending on its configuration. The output can be single or multimode while the optical signal to noise ratio ranges from 25 and 40 dB. The architecture is based on the integrated association of a fiber optical parametric amplifier and a Thulium doped fiber amplifier.

Phase-Matching and Parametric Conversion for the Mid-Infrared in As2S3 Waveguides
We illustrate two As2S3 waveguide designs for four-wave mixing, which can generate 3.03 μm mid-infrared light from a 1.55 μm near-infrared signal source and a 2.05 μm pump source. Through simulations, we verify that four-wave mixing phase-matching efficiencies up to 100% can be achieved using dispersion engineering to maintain the dispersion at 2.05 μm near to zero. The best conversion efficien...
متن کاملParametric generation of tunable infrared radiation in ZnGeP2 and GaSe pumped at 3 I.Lm
Traveling-wave parametric generators with angular tuning with the use of ZnGeP2 and GaSe crystals pumped by 100-ps pulses from an actively mode-locked Er laser (A 3 ,m) are reported. The continuous-tuning range achieved was 4-10 /im (ZnGeP2; length, 12 mm) and 3.5-18 ,um (GaSe; length, 12 mm) in a type-I interaction, with a quantum conversion efficiency of a few percent. In the case of ZnGeP2 (...
متن کاملFemtosecond parametric generation in ZnGeP(2).
We report traveling-wave optical parametric generation in short (2-mm) ZnGeP(2) samples with reduced anomalous absorption, using femtosecond pump pulses near 2 mum . The signal and the idler waves generated could be tuned from 2.5 to 10 mum , and they extend the tunability of the beta-barium borate optical parametric generator used as a pump source to the mid-infrared. At a single-pass internal...
متن کاملBroadly tunable source around 2050 nm based on wideband parametric conversion and thulium-holmium amplification cascade.
We report the design of a short-wave infrared continuous-wave light source featuring a 20 mW average output power, and with a wavelength that can be freely selected in the 2000-2100 nm range amid a low power ripple. The operating principle relies on the simultaneous broadband parametric conversion of two seeds in a highly nonlinear silica fiber pumped in the L-band followed by amplification and...
متن کاملHigh-repetition-rate near-infrared noncollinear ultrabroadband optical parametric amplification in KTiOPO4.
We report efficient noncollinear optical parametric amplification (NOPA) of ultrabroadband near-IR pulses tunable in the 1.1-1.5 μm range at a repetition rate of 250 kHz. Improved generation of smooth near-IR continua (extending over ~1.0-1.6 μm) at 250 kHz was achieved by weakly focusing ~20% of the 1 W driving laser beam into a sapphire plate with longer focal length lenses than previously re...
