“…Multiple four-wave-mixing (FWM), also named cascaded FWM, in optical fibers has been demonstrated to be a promising way to achieve boradband optical frequency comb (OFC). [1][2][3][4][5] Compared with the cavity-defined approaches, such as mode-locked fiber lasers [6,7] and microresonator, [8] OFC based on multiple FWM is convenient to easily tune the frequency spacing, and is free from frequency chirps and pulse jitter inherently. [3] It has been proposed to serve as high precision frequency markers, calibration of astrophysical spectrometers, broadband spectroscopy and metrology.…”

Cascaded fiber geometry with the dispersion of each fiber decreasing is proposed to enhance the multiple four-wave mixing (FWM) generation. The first fiber with relatively large dispersion initiates and accelerates the expansion of multiple FWM, and the second fiber with small dispersion would allow the phase-matching process (thus the spectrum broadening) to keep going. Numerical and experimental results show that with this geometry not only multiple FWM expansion can be accelerated, but also the efficiency of multiple FWM products can be effectively improved with shorter fibers.

A pulse compressing technology of single-frequency Q-switched laser based on the cascaded four-wave mixing (CFWM) effect is demonstrated theoretically and experimentally, for the first time to the best of our knowledge. A theoretical model of the pulse compression is established through deconstructing the pulse duration evolution in the high-order Stokes and anti-Stokes lights of CFWM. A pulse compression ratio of (2|m|+1)1/2 is quantificationally obtained with m corresponding to the order number of the CFWM light. Utilizing dual-wavelength (DW) single-frequency Q-switched laser injected into a highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF), the pulse compression and the spectral broadening phenomenon are observed simultaneously. As the order number of the CFWM light increases from 0-order to 3-order, the pulse duration has reduced from 115 ns to 47 ns with a compression ratio of 2.45, which is essentially consistent with the theoretical analysis. The pulse compressing technique by CFWM is conducive to promoting the performance development of the single-frequency Q-switched laser, which can improve the system precision in the Lidar, trace gas detection, and high-precision ranging. Furthermore, this technology based on time-frequency transformation dynamics may be generally applicable to other single-frequency pulsed fiber lasers.
