Wavelength conversion of nanosecond pulses to the mid-IR in photonic crystal fibers

Abstract

We investigate degenerate four wave mixing with nanosecond pulses in fused silica photonic crystal fibers. Phase-matching curves are calculated taking into account the material and waveguide dispersion. Experiments with a nanosecond pulsed Nd:YAG pump laser and relatively short fiber lengths show more than an octave spanning conversion to idler and signal wavelengths at 3.105 μm and 0.642 μm, respectively. Conversion efficiency depends on the fiber length and pump intensity and is limited in our experiments by damage of the fiber input facet. Our results represent a new stretch towards the limit of the silica transmission window in the mid-infrared (IR).
