Single mode operation with mid-IR hollow fibers in the range 5.1-10.5 µm.
Single mode beam delivery in the mid-infrared spectral range 5.1-10.5 μm employing flexible hollow glass waveguides of 15 cm and 50 cm lengths, with metallic/dielectric internal layers and a bore diameter of 200 μm were demonstrated. Three quantum cascade lasers were coupled with the hollow core fibers. For a fiber length of 15 cm, we measured losses down to 1.55 dB at 5.4 μm and 0.9 dB at 10.5...
متن کاملHollow Core Fiber Optics for Mid-Wave and Long-Wave Infrared Spectroscopy
We describe the development and testing of hollow core glass waveguides (i.e., fiber optics) for use in Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) and Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) spectroscopy systems. Spectroscopy measurements in these wavelength regions (i.e., from 3 to 14 μm) are useful for detecting trace chemical compounds for a variety of security and defense related applications, and fiber optics are a key e...
متن کاملLow-Loss Hollow Waveguide Fibers for Mid-Infrared Quantum Cascade Laser Sensing Applications
We report on single mode optical transmission of hollow core glass waveguides (HWG) coupled with an external cavity mid-IR quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). The QCL mode results perfectly matched to the hybrid HE(11) waveguide mode and the higher losses TE-like modes have efficiently suppressed by the deposited inner dielectric coating. Optical losses down to 0.44 dB/m and output beam divergence o...
متن کاملMid-IR quantum cascade laser mode coupling in hollow-core, fiber- optic waveguides with single-mode beam delivery
We report a theoretical and experimental study of laser coupling in hollow-core, fiber-optic waveguides with small-bore diameters of d=200 μm. For the experiments we utilized three mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers with different emission wavelength, which were coupled into the waveguides using lenses with focal lengths in the range 25-76 mm. Measurements of the output beam profiles and propa...
متن کاملModal Filtering for Nulling Interferometry First Single-Mode Conductive Waveguides in the Mid-Infrared
This paper presents the work achieved for the manufacturing and characterization of first single-mode waveguides to be used as modal filters for nulling interferometry in the mid-infrared range [4-20 μm]. As very high dynamic range is mandatory for detection of Earth-like planets, modal filtering is one of the most stringent instrumental aspects. The hollow metallic waveguides (HMW) presented h...
