英文摘要:
A mid-infrared supercontinuum (SC) light source, which has important applications in many fields, has been extensively investigated in soft glass fibers. However, the poor instinct properties of soft glass fibers and the development of ultrashort pulse lasers left an opportunity for mid-infrared SC generation in silica fiber. Until now, silica fiber has been the commonly used medium for SC generation due to its outstanding properties. In this paper, mid-infrared SC generation in short silica photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) is investigated theoretically and systematically. In the case of a 1550 nm pump, the soliton self-frequency shift effect is utilized to extend the long wavelength edge of SC. Adopting a fiber that has a zero dispersion wavelength away from the pump pulse is a benefit for the suppression of blue spectral component and energy distribution in the long wavelength band. In the case of a 1950 nm pump, the generation of a red-shifted dispersive wave is an efficient way to extend the long wavelength edge of SC. Additionally, the coherence for femtosecond pulse pumping is discussed in this paper. Finally, the long wavelength edge of SC is beyond 3000 nm when a 1950 nm femtosecond pump pulse propagates in a PCF with negative dispersive slope around the pump pulse.
