All-Fiber Mid-Infrared Supercontinuum Generation Pumped by Ultra-Low Repetition Rate Noise-Like Pulse Mode-Locked Fiber Laser
We demonstrate broadband mid-infrared supercontinuum generation in a piece of indium fluoride fiber pumped by an ultralow repetition rate noise-like pulse mode-locked fiber laser. This figure-9 mode-locked Tm-doped fiber laser has a long laser cavity by inserting a piece of standard single mode fiber and a piece of dispersion compensation fiber, which delivers mode-locked noise-like pulse with a repetition rate of ∼190 kHz. The mode-locked noise-like pulse train has a low pulse duty cycle of 4.38 × 10 −4 . With only one Tm-doped fiber amplifier, the ultra-low repetition rate noise-like pulse is amplified to ∼3 W. The pulse energy is boosted to ∼15 μJ with a peak power of ∼6.5 kW. Pumping a piece of highly nonlinear indium fluoride fiber with the amplified noise-like pulse, a flat mid-infrared supercontinuum with a covering range from ∼1500 nm to ∼4100 nm can be achieved. Due to the low operational power, no cooling installations are required to control the temperature of the supercontinuum laser system. This all-fiber mid-infrared SC laser source has a relatively simple architecture and low cost. This study demonstrates the great advantages of this type of ultra-low repetition rate noise-like pulses in mid-infrared supercontinuum generation.
