چکیده
We report ultra-broadband supercontinuum generation in high-confinement Si3N4 integrated optical waveguides. The spectrum extends through the visible (from 470 nm) to the infrared spectral range (2130 nm) comprising a spectral bandwidth wider than 495 THz, which is the widest supercontinuum spectrum generated on a chip.

High-spectral-flatness mid-infrared supercontinuum generated from a Tm-doped fiber amplifier.
Broadband mid-infrared supercontinuum pulses were generated directly from a short piece of active fiber in a single-mode Tm-doped fiber amplifier. The broadband mid-infrared pulses have an extremely high spectral flatness with ~600 nm FWHM bandwidth (from 1.9 μm to 2.5 μm), >15 kW peak power, and >20 GW/cm(2) laser peak intensity. This new approach exhibits a significantly different physical me...
متن کاملMulti-octave supercontinuum generation from mid-infrared filamentation in a bulk crystal
In supercontinuum generation, various propagation effects combine to produce a dramatic spectral broadening of intense ultrashort optical pulses. With a host of applications, supercontinuum sources are often required to possess a range of properties such as spectral coverage from the ultraviolet across the visible and into the infrared, shot-to-shot repeatability, high spectral energy density a...
متن کاملHighly efficient broadband sum-frequency generation in the visible wavelength range.
We report on efficient broadband sum-frequency generation, converting a 140 THz near-infrared bandwidth to the visible regime with photon conversion efficiency greater than 90%. Using a 20-mm-long aperiodically adiabatively poled KTP crystal, the spectral range 660-990 nm was converted to 405-500 nm using a strong pump wave at 1030 nm. The photon conversion efficiency was confirmed to be 92±0.5...
متن کاملutilizing intense supercontinuum light source
Combining the molecular specificity of the infrared spectral region with high resolution microscopy has been pursued by researchers for decades. Here we demonstrate infrared supercontinuum radiated from an optical fiber as a promising new light source for infrared microspectroscopy. The supercontinuum light source has a high brightness and spans the infrared region from 1400 nm to 4000 nm. This...
متن کاملMid-infrared supercontinuum generation in a SiN waveguide pumped at 1.55 micron
We report supercontinuum generation extending to 3.6 micron in silicon-nitride waveguides pumped by a commercial source at 1.55 micron. The span is a bandwidth record for the platform and demonstrates its potential as mid-infrared source. OCIS codes: (190.4390) Nonlinear optics, integrated optics; (320.6629) Supercontinuum generation Introduction The recent development of supercontinuum (SC) so...
