“…Considering for instance the process of second-harmonic generation, a factor 2 can typically be expected. The enhancement of nonlinear coupling with incoherent light is already well-known 28 , 29 but suffers limitations that have been investigated in the literature for many nonlinear processes 28 – 31 . The propagation of high-intensity peaks in fibers and nonlinear crystals can deteriorate this figure, as Eq.…”

We report on a detailed study of an amplified spontaneous emission source operated in a pulsed regime with particular attention paid to the influence of high-intensity chaotic temporal events on the generation of nonlinear processes. To this aim, we have developed a monolithic high-power fiber system delivering partially coherent pulses of adjustable coherence. We also have demonstrated a non-linear method to characterize the stochastic properties of the source mitigating the bandwidth limitation of linear techniques. Measured parameters of the source for various configurations are presented. An enhanced classical model has been established to reproduce the statistical properties of the source and predict the behaviour when exciting non-linear processes. Finally, a non-linear process (second harmonic generation) is investigated comparing the efficiency when the process is pumped by a pulsed beam with maximal and low coherence.
