Ultrabroadband supercontinuum generation from ultraviolet to 6.28   μ m in a fluoride fiber

Ultrabroadband supercontinuum light expanding from ultraviolet to 6.28   μ m is generated in a centimeter-long fluoride fiber pumped by a 1450 nm femtosecond laser. The spectral broadening in the fluoride fiber is caused by self-phase modulation, Raman scattering and four-wave mixing. The experiment...

Zusammenfassung:Ultrabroadband supercontinuum light expanding from ultraviolet to 6.28   μ m is generated in a centimeter-long fluoride fiber pumped by a 1450 nm femtosecond laser. The spectral broadening in the fluoride fiber is caused by self-phase modulation, Raman scattering and four-wave mixing. The experimental and simulated results show that fluoride fiber is a promising candidate for generating the midinfrared supercontinuum light up to 8   μ m .
