Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is an important nonlinear process in optical fibers that can realize the MIR wavelength shift from our existing pump source. In this paper, we experimentally investigated an efficient 2.19-and 2.42 μm cascaded Raman pulse fiber laser that was composed of 2 μm electronically modulated pulse source, one typically three-stage Tm-doped fiber amplifier and a segment of commercially nonlinear fiber. A simple single-pass configuration was built to avoid the bandwidth limitation of optical components for Raman pulse generation at longer wavelengths.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
