We present a mid-infrared (MIR) source based on intra-pulse difference-frequency
generation under the random quasi-phase-matching condition. The scheme enables the use …

We report, to the best of our knowledge, the first super-octave femtosecond polycrystalline
Cr: ZnS laser at the central wavelength 2.4 µm. The laser is based on a non-polarizing …

A myriad of existing and emerging applications could benefit from coherent and broadband
mid-infrared (MIR) light. Yet, existing tabletop sources are often complex or sensitive to …

We demonstrate broadband supercontinuum generation over two infrared octaves,
spanning from 1.3 to 5.3 μm, with an output power of 150 mW in robust step-index tellurite …

Femtosecond light sources in the 3–5 μm region are highly sought after for numerous
applications. While they can be generated by using nonlinear effects in optical fibers, the …

Broadband supercontinuum sources are of interest for various applications. The near-
infrared region (1-3 μm) is specifically useful for biomedical diagnostics. One of the …

We describe the evolution of ultrafast optical parametric sources for the mid-infrared (mid-IR)
based on the new birefringent nonlinear crystal, cadmium silicon phosphide, CdSiP_2 …

We report on efficient supercontinuum generation in tapered suspended-core
\rmAs_39\rmSe_61 As_39Se_61 fibers pumped by a femtosecond mode-locked Cr: ZnSe …

Broadband mid-infrared (IR) supercontinuum laser sources are essential for spectroscopy in
the molecular fingerprint region. Here, we report generation of octave-spanning and …

Coherent supercontinuum light expanding from 1.4 to 4 μm is generated in a 4 cm long
tapered fluorotellurite microstructured fiber (MF) pumped by a 1980 nm femtosecond fiber …
