Mid-infrared cascaded stimulated Raman scattering and flat supercontinuum generation in an As-S optical fiber pump at 2 µm.
2021
We demonstrate broadband mid-infrared cascaded stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and flat supercontinuum (SC) generation in a chalcogenide optical fiber made from As2S5 glass. By using a 2 µm nanosecond laser as the pump source, mid-infrared cascaded SRS up to six orders ranging from 2149 to 3425 nm was experimentally observed, and this all-fiber Raman laser operating at 3.43 µm was realized for the first time to our knowledge. By introducing a 2 µm femtosecond laser as the excited source, the broadband flat mid-infrared SC with the spectral range of ∼10dB (from ∼1030 to 3441 nm) was observed. Our results verify that the As2S5 optical fibers possess promising applications for tunable mid-infrared Raman fiber lasers and SC light sources pumped by 2 µm pulsed lasers.
