Abstract

We demonstrate a supercontinuum source with a 20 dB bandwidth from 1 to 3μm with output power exceeding 6 W based on a GeO2-doped silica fiber. This is the highest output power reported for a 3 μm supercontinuum source based on germania-doped silica fiber in an all-fiberized and compact size device. We further demonstrate a spectrum spanning from 1.7 to 3.4μm (10dB bandwidth from 1.8 to 3.2μm) at a low power of tens of milliwatts with more than 50% power fraction above 2400 nm, which makes this source suitable for several applications where a broadband source at low power is required to avoid damage of the samples. Our investigations reveal the unexploited potential of germania-doped fiber for mid-infrared supercontinuum generation and surpass the current state-of-the-art results.
