Stimulated Raman scattering is essentially a “light amplification,” and some of the most
important applications are light amplifiers and laser sources. Important achievements have …

Photonic, electronic, and photoelectric applications of noncrystalline 1 solids are rapidly
growing in recent years. Such growth seems to synchronize with the development of oxide …

An all-fiber based supercontinuum source with emission covering the wavelength range of
1.9–4.8 μm is demonstrated. The laser source is based on a combination of silica …

We explore the use of a highly nonlinear chalcogenide-silica waveguide for supercontinuum
generation in the near infrared. The structure was fabricated by a pressure-assisted melt …

We demonstrate mid-infrared (mid-IR) supercontinuum generation (SCG) with instantaneous
bandwidth from 2.2 to 5 μm at 40 dB below the peak, covering the wavelength range …

Light transformations based on stimulated Raman scattering in microresonators with
whispering gallery modes have tremendous potential for implementing compact, widely …

Efficient generation of a broad-band mid-infrared supercontinuum spectrum is reported in an
arsenic trisulphide waveguide embedded in silica. A chalcogenide “nano-spike”, designed …

Supercontinuum sources with high compactness are essential for applications such as
optical sensing, airborne detection and communication systems. In the past decades, the …

Emerging applications in the mid-infrared (MIR) stimulate the growth and development of
novel optical light sources. Soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS) in soft glass fiber currently …

Compared to oxide-based glasses, vitreous materials involving chalcogens form a rather
new family of glasses which have gained attention, mainly because of their transmission in …
