High-power supercontinuum generation in the mid-infrared pumped by a soliton self-frequency shifted source

We report the demonstration of a fiber-based supercontinuum source delivering up to 825 mW of average output power between 2.5 and 5.0 µm generated in all-normal dispersion regime. The pumping source consists of an amplified ultrafast Er ZrF fiber laser providing high peak power femtosecond pulses a...

description We report the demonstration of a fiber-based supercontinuum source delivering up to 825 mW of average output power between 2.5 and 5.0 µm generated in all-normal dispersion regime. The pumping source consists of an amplified ultrafast Er ZrF fiber laser providing high peak power femtosecond pulses at 3.6 µm with an average output power exceeding the watt-level. These pulses are spectrally broadened through self-phase modulation using commercial chalcogenide-based step-index fibers. Al O anti-reflection coatings were sputtered on chalcogenide fiber tips to increase the launching efficiency from 54% to 82%, making this record output power possible, and thus confirming that such coatings can support watt-level pumping with intense femtosecond pulses. To the best of our knowledge, this result represents the highest average output power ever achieved from a As Se -based mid-IR supercontinuum source with the potential of a high degree of coherence.
