RESUMO

We present an ultrafast long-wave infrared (LWIR) source driven by a mid-infrared fluoride fiber laser. It is based on a mode-locked Er:ZBLAN fiber oscillator and a nonlinear amplifier operating at 48 MHz. The amplified soliton pulses at ∼2.9 µm are shifted to ∼4 µm via the soliton self-frequency shifting process in an InF3 fiber. LWIR pulses with an average power of 1.25-mW centered at 11 µm with a spectral bandwidth of ∼1.3 µm are produced through difference-frequency generation (DFG) of the amplified soliton and its frequency-shifted replica in a ZnGeP2 crystal. Soliton-effect fluoride fiber sources operating in the mid-infrared for driving DFG conversion to LWIR enable higher pulse energies than with near-infrared sources, while maintaining relative simplicity and compactness, relevant for spectroscopy and other applications in LWIR.

RESUMO

We demonstrate single transverse mode and high energy nanosecond pulse amplification at ∼2.8-µm using large core Er:ZBLAN fibers. The highest energies achieved are 0.75mJ from a 50 µm core, and 420µJ from a 30 µm core fibers respectively, seeded with 95 ns long pulses generated by a ring-cavity Q-switched Er:ZBLAN fiber laser. Nearly diffraction-limited beams with M2 = 1.2-1.3 were obtained using a single-mode excitation technique of multi-mode core fibers. Achieved pulse energies exceed by approximately an order of magnitude the previously reported highest pulse energies in a single transverse mode from a fiber laser or amplifier at these mid-IR wavelengths.

RESUMO

We explored generation of high-energy nanosecond short pulses in the mid-IR wavelength range using 30-70-µm-core Er:ZBLAN fiber amplifiers. The highest energies achieved were ∼0.7mJ at 2.72 µm in 11.5-ns-long pulses, with the corresponding peak power of 60.3 kW, obtained with a 70-µm-diameter core fiber amplifier pumped at 976 nm and seeded by a KTiOAsO4-based optical parametric oscillator/optical parametric amplifier system. To the best of our knowledge, these pulse energies are the highest achieved to date from mid-IR fiber lasers at longer than 2-µm wavelengths with nanosecond pulses. The achieved highest pulse energies were limited by the surface damage of unprotected fiber output facets.
