Mid-infrared wavelength conversion from As2Se3 microwires
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate all-fiber far-detuned and widely tunable mid-infrared wavelength conversion using As2Se3 microwires. In a first experiment, an idler is generated and tuned from 2.351 to >2.500 μm from four-wave mixing in a 0.5 cm long microwire. In a second experiment, tunable parametric sidebands are generated via modulation instability in a 10 cm long microwire. The resulting parametric frequency conversion reaches up to 49.3 THz, the largest ever reported in soft glass materials. © 2017 Optical Society of

2-10 μm Mid-infrared Supercontinuum Generation in As2Se3 Photonic Crystal Fiber
For the first time, we demonstrated that a hyper-broadband from 2μm to 10μm can be generated with a high spectral flatness by using a ~4 um pump and an As2Se3 photonic crystal fiber. The broad and flat dispersion profile and the low guiding loss of the endlessly single-mode As2Se3 photonic crystal fibers combining with the high nonlinearity and wide mid-infrared transparent window of As2Se3 cha...
متن کاملDemonstration of high-Q mid-infrared chalcogenide glass-on-silicon resonators.
We demonstrated high-index-contrast, waveguide-coupled As2Se3 chalcogenide glass resonators monolithically integrated on silicon fabricated using optical lithography and a lift-off process. The resonators exhibited a high intrinsic quality factor of 2×10(5) at 5.2 μm wavelength, which is among the highest values reported in on-chip mid-infrared (mid-IR) photonic devices. The resonator can serve...
متن کاملFar-detuned mid-infrared frequency conversion via normal dispersion modulation instability in chalcogenide microwires.
We report the observation of modulation instability (MI) in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral region by pumping a hybrid polymer-chalcogenide optical microwire with a femtosecond optical parametric oscillator operating at 2.6 μm. It is further shown that this MI occurs in the normal dispersion regime through negative fourth-order dispersion and leads to far-detuned parametric frequency convers...

متن کاملTwo octaves mid-infrared supercontinuum generation in As₂Se₃ microwires.
We report the first demonstration of mid-infrared supercontinuum generation in As₂Se₃ chalcogenide microwires with the added advantage of using low energy pulses. The generated SC covers two octaves of bandwidth from 1.1 μm to 4.4 μm at -30 dB. This exceeds the broadest reported SC bandwidth in As₂Se₃ microwires by a factor of 3.5. The microwire geometry and pumping conditions are the key param...
