Kerr-lens mode-locked Cr:ZnS oscillator reaches the spectral span of an optical octave

Journal Article Vasilyev, Sergey ; Moskalev, Igor ; Smolski, Viktor ; ... - Optics Express

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 astigmatic X-folded resonator with normal incidence mounting of the gain element. The chromatic dispersion of the resonator is controlled with a set of dispersive mirrors within one third of an optical octave over 2.05–2.6 µm range. The resonator’s optics is highly reflective in the range 1.8–2.9 µm. The components of the oscillator’s output spectrum at the wavelengths 1.6 µm and 3.2 µm are detected at –60 dB with respect to the mainmore »« less

Multi-octave-spanning supercontinuum generation through high-energy laser filaments in YAG and ZnSe pumped by a 2.4 μm femtosecond Cr:ZnSe laser

Journal Article Nam, Sang-Hoon ; Nagar, Garima C. ; Dempsey, Dennis ; ... - High Power Laser Science and Engineering

Abstract We present experimental and numerical investigations of high-energy mid-infrared filamentation with multi-octave-spanning supercontinuum generation (SCG), pumped by a 2.4 μm, 250 fs Cr:ZnSe chirped-pulse laser amplifier. The SCG is demonstrated in both anomalous and normal dispersion regimes with YAG and polycrystalline ZnSe, respectively. The formation of stable and robust single filaments along with the visible-to-mid-infrared SCG is obtained with a pump energy of up to 100 μJ in a 6-mm-long YAG medium. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the highest-energy multi-octave-spanning SCG from a laser filament in a solid. On the other hand, the SCG andmore »« less

Multi-octave visible to long-wave IR femtosecond continuum generated in Cr:ZnS-GaSe tandem

Journal Article Vasilyev, Sergey ; Moskalev, Igor ; Smolski, Viktor ; ... - Optics Express

We report a technique for generation of broad and coherent femtosecond (fs) continua that span several octaves from visible to long-wave IR parts of the spectrum (0.4–18 µm). The approach is based on simultaneous amplification of few-cycle pulses at 2.5 µm central wavelength at 80 MHz repetition rate, and augmentation of their spectrum via three-wave mixing in a tandem arrangement of polycrystalline Cr:ZnS and single crystal GaSe. The obtained average power levels include several mW in the 0.4–0.8 µm visible, 0.23 W in the 0.8–2 µm near-IR, up to 4 W in the 2–3 µm IR, and about 17 mWmore »« less

Octave-spanning mid-infrared femtosecond OPA in a ZnGeP ₂ pumped by a 2.4 μm Cr:ZnSe chirped-pulse amplifier

Journal Article Nam, Sang-Hoon ; Fedorov, Vladimir ; Mirov, Sergey ; ... - Optics Express

We report on the highly efficient, octave-spanning mid-infrared (mid-IR) optical parametric amplification (OPA) in a ZnGeP ₂ (ZGP) crystal, pumped by a 1 kHz, 2.4 μm, 250 fs Cr:ZnSe chirped-pulse amplifier. The full spectral coverage of 3−10 μm with the amplified signal and idler beams is demonstrated. The signal beam in the range of ∼3 − 5 μm is produced by either white light generation (WLG) in YAG or optical parametric generation (OPG) in ZGP using the common 2.4 μm pump laser. We demonstrate the pump to signal and idler combined conversion efficiency of 23% and the pulse energy of up to 130 μJ with ∼2more »« less
