We report high power mid-infrared (mid-IR) supercontinuum (SC) generation in a single-mode ZBLAN (ZrF₄-BaF₂-LaF₃-AlF₃-NaF) fiber with up to 21.8 W average output power from 1.9 to beyond 3.8 μm pumped by amplified picosecond pulses from a single-mode thulium-doped fiber (TDF) master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA). The optical-optical conversion efficiency from the 793 nm pump laser of the last stage thulium-doped fiber amplifier (TDFA) to mid-IR SC output is 17%. It is, to the best of our knowledge, the highest average power mid-IR SC generation from a ZBLAN fiber to date.
我们报道了在单模ZBLAN(ZrF₄-BaF₂-LaF₃-AlF₃-NaF)光纤中产生高功率中红外(mid-IR)超连续谱(SC)的情况,该光纤由单模掺铥光纤(TDF)主振荡器功率放大器(MOPA)产生的放大皮秒脉冲泵浦,平均输出功率高达21.8 W,波长范围从1.9 μm至超过3.8 μm。末级掺铥光纤放大器(TDFA)的793 nm泵浦激光到中红外SC输出的光光转换效率为17%。据我们所知,这是迄今为止从ZBLAN光纤产生的平均功率最高的中红外SC。
