Mid-infrared two-octave spanning supercontinuum generation in a Ge-Se-Te glass suspended core fiber
Abstract
We report on both the fabrication and the application of a Ge-Se-Te glass-based suspended core fiber for mid-infrared supercontinuum generation. A two-octave spanning mid-infrared light source (from 3.25 to 13 µm) is experimentally demonstrated by pumping the chalcogenide fiber with sub-100 fs pulses at 8.6 µm. Numerical simulations of nonlinear pulse propagation as well as fiber properties are also provided and support experimental measurements.
