测量了Ge-As-S系列硫系玻璃在中红外波段的飞秒激光损伤阈值, 研究了它与玻璃化学组成的关系. 基于优化的玻璃组成, 采用棒管法制备了芯径为15 μm的阶跃折射率非线性光纤. 采用飞秒脉冲抽运光纤, 研究了光纤中超连续谱(supercontinuum, SC)的产生特性. 在研究的Ge-As-S硫系玻璃中, 具有化学计量配比的Ge0.25As0.1S0.65玻璃显示出最高的激光损伤阈值. 以该玻璃作为纤芯材料、以与其相匹配的Ge0.26As0.08S0.66玻璃作为包层材料制备的光纤的数值孔径约为0.24, 背景损耗 < 2 dB/m. 采用4.8 μm的飞秒激光抽运长度为10 cm的光纤, 获得了覆盖2.5—7.5 μm的SC. 这些结果表明, Ge-As-S硫系玻璃光纤是一种有潜力的中红外高亮度宽带SC产生的非线性介质.
High-brightness broadband mid-infrared supercontinuum sources are highly demanded for many applications such as remote sensing, environmental monitoring, manufacturing industry, medical surgery and thermal imaging. For fulfilling these applications, high average power output is required. Compared with all other mid-infrared glass fibers, chalcogenide glass fiber possesses low phonon energy, long wavelength transmission edge, and high Kerr nonlinearity, thereby becoming a uniquely ideal nonlinear optical material for generating broadband mid-infrared supercontinuum. Unfortunately, due to weak chemical bonds forming the glass network, the commonly used As-S chalcogenide glass has a relatively low laser damage threshold. Thus from the material aspect, it limits high power yielded from a chalcogenide fiber based mid-infrared supercontinuum source. A chalcogenide glass host with enhanced laser damage threshold is therefore needed for further power scaling up of such a mid-infrared fiber supercontinuum. In this work, we introduce germanium into a traditional As-S glass system. The laser damage threshold of Ge-As-S glass is investigated systematically. A 3.6-μm femtosecond laser is employed as an excitation source. The relationship between the laser damage threshold and the glass composition indicates that of the studied Ge-As-S chalcogenide glasses, stoichiometric Ge0.25As0.1S0.65 glass possesses the highest laser damage threshold. In the following fiber design and fabrication, the optimized stoichiometric Ge0.25As0.1S0.65 glass therefore is chosen as a core material of the designed fiber, while a compatible Ge0.26As0.08S0.66 glass is selected as a cladding material. A step-index nonlinear fiber with a core diameter of 15 μm is fabricated by the traditional rod-in-tube method. The numerical aperture and the background loss of the fabricated Ge0.25As0.1S0.65/Ge0.26As0.08S0.66 fiber are ~0.24 and < 2 dB/m, respectively. Broadband mid-infrared supercontinuum is generated in the fiber by using an anomalous-dispersion pumping scheme. A 4.8-μm femtosecond laser with a pulse duration of 170 femtosecond and a repetition rate of 100 kHz is adopted as a pump source. The guidance of the fundamental mode is confirmed under low pump power level. With the increase of the pump power, the supercontinuum shows to be significantly broadened. Broadband supercontinuum ranging from 2.5 μm to 7.5 μm is generated in an only 10-cm-long fiber, when the maximum coupled pump power is 15 mW, equivalent to a peak power of 882 kW. The power output of the supercontinuum is 5.5 mW. All in all, the results indicate that the Ge-As-S chalcogenide glass fiber is a promising nonlinear medium for broadband mid-infrared supercontinuum sources with high brightness.
