Development of coherent mid-infrared source using chalcogenide photonic crystal fibers

Many molecule bonds have vibration frequencies in the mid-infrared band. Thus, this band is of great interest to molecular spectroscopy, material processing and medical applications. However, many optical materials typically used for laser sources experien ...

Fiber fuse in chalcogenide photonic crystal fibers

Camille Sophie Brès, Svyatoslav Kharitonov, Sida Xing, Jianqi Hu

We observe fiber fuse in tapered GeAsSe photonic crystal fibers (PCF) at around 7 MW∕cm2 of intra-core intensity. Vertically cleaved facets from the un-tapered regions and the tapered regions were imaged. The images show shallow voids of different shapes c ...

Stable 2.1 μm near 100% polarized Ho-doped all-fiber laser based on a polarizer-free cavity scheme

Camille Sophie Brès, Svyatoslav Kharitonov, Davide Grassani, Sida Xing, Jianqi Hu

A highly polarized Ho-doped truly all-fibre laser was demonstrated without in-cavity polarizer. Utilizing PM-FBG and loop mirror, maximum 0.5W output power with 30% slope efficiency, 70dB ASE suppression and 99.997% degree of polarization was recorded at 2 ...

Mid-infrared continuous-wave parametric amplification in chalcogenide microstructured fibers

Camille Sophie Brès, Svyatoslav Kharitonov, Davide Grassani, Sida Xing

The persistent growth of interest in the middle infrared (MIR) is stimulating the development of sources and components. Novel waveguides and fibers for the efficient use of nonlinear effects in the MIR are being intensively studied. Highly nonlinear silic ...

MIR supercontinuum in all-normal dispersion Chalcogenide photonic crystal fibers pumped with 2μm femtosecond laser

Camille Sophie Brès, Svyatoslav Kharitonov, Davide Grassani, Sida Xing, Jianqi Hu

We demonstrate mid-infrared supercontinuum generation in an all-normal dispersion Chalcogenide PCF pumped by fiber laser. The -20dB bandwidth is 1.7~2.7μm dominated by self-phase modulation and optical wave breaking. Tapering is proposed to improve perform ...

Broadband Dispersion Characterization of Chalcogenide Tapered Photonic Crystal Fiber

Camille Sophie Brès, Svyatoslav Kharitonov, Sida Xing

Group-velocity dispersion of birefringent GeAsSe tapered PCF is directly measured over 1900-2300nm range using all-fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer. We experimentally prove that zero-dispersion wavelength of chalcogenide PCFs can be shifted to thulium/hol ...

All-fibered chalcogenide based continuous-wave parametric amplification in the mid-infrared

Camille Sophie Brès, Svyatoslav Kharitonov, Davide Grassani, Sida Xing

We demonstrate parametric amplification around 2 μm in a dispersion engineered tapered microstructured chalcogenide fiber. Almost 5 dB of signal amplification was achieved by 125 mW coupled power from a thulium-doped fiber pump laser. ...

Generation of high-brightness spectrally flat supercontinuum in 1900-2450 nm range inside a small core thulium-doped fiber amplifier

Thibault Emmanuel North, Camille Sophie Brès, Svyatoslav Kharitonov, Davide Grassani, Sida Xing

We demonstrate the generation of high-brightness supercontinuum inside thuliumdoped fiber amplifier in 1950-2450nm spectral range with 1.7W output power and 32% slope efficiency, seeded by tunable 2000nm mode-locked laser and assisted by 3H4-3H5/3F4-3H6 th ...

Characterization and modeling of microstructured chalcogenide fibers for efficient mid-infrared wavelength conversion

Camille Sophie Brès, Adrien Billat, Svyatoslav Kharitonov, Davide Grassani, Sida Xing

We experimentally demonstrate wavelength conversion in the 2 μm region by four-wave mixing in an AsSe and a GeAsSe chalcogenide photonic crystal fibers. A maximum conversion efficiency of −25.4 dB is measured for 112 mW of coupled continuous wave pump in a ...

Continuous wave four-wave mixing at 2 micron in Chalcogenide microstructured fiber

Camille Sophie Brès, Adrien Billat, Svyatoslav Kharitonov, Steevy Joyce Cordette, Davide Grassani, Sida Xing

We present the first demonstration of continuous-wave four-wave mixing at 2μm in short chalcogenide microstructured fiber. Idlers over approximately 15nm on anti-Stokes side of the pump were measured for a coupled pump power of 94mW. ...
