“…In step-index fibers (SIF) several examples of generation of supercontinuum have been reported. The most significant results have been obtained by pumping a 8·5-cm long Ge-As-Se fiber, with a 100-fs laser centered at 6·3 μm, which generates a supercontinuum that extends from 1·4 to 13 μm [47], and by pumping at 9·5 μm in a 3-cm As-Se fiber, which leads to a 2-15 μm supercontinuum [48].…”

The combination of the unique optical properties of chalcogenide glasses, in terms of infrared transmission and optical non-linearity, with the original guiding properties of microstructured optical fibers leads to a new category of fibers with promising applications in mid-infrared optics. The recent developments on chalcogenide microstructured optical fibers are exposed and discussed with regards to mid-IR guiding, infrared light transport and delivery, generation of new infrared sources, and infrared spectroscopy.

“…[94][95][96] Recentemente, a geração de um supercontínuo de luz cobrindo a faixa 1,4 -13,3 µm foi obtida numa fibra de calcogeneto. 97 A alta não linearidade dos vidros calcogenetos, como o deslocamento Raman, também pode ser usado para a emissão de luz no infravermelho. Assim foi obtido um efeito laser em 3,77 μm em uma fibra calcogeneto através da combinação da não linearidade do material de calcogeneto e a emissão em 3,0 μm obtida numa fibra de fluoreto dopada com érbio Er 3+ .…”

publicado na web em 05/02/2016 GLASSY MATERIALS AND LIGHT: PART 1. 2015 is the Year of Light, according to UNESCO. Chemistry has a close relationship with light and one of the materials that allows such synergy is glass. Depending on the chemical composition of the glass, it is possible to achieve technological applications for the whole range of wavelengths extending from the region of the microwave to gamma rays. This diversity of applications opens a large range of research where chemistry, as a central science, overlaps the fields of physics, engineering, medicine, etc., generating a huge amount of knowledge and technological products used for humanity. This review article aimed at discussing some families of glasses, illustrating some applications. Due to the extension of the theme, and all points raised, we thought it would be good to divide the article into two parts. In the first part we focus on the properties of heavy metal oxide glasses, fluoride glasses and chalcogenide glasses. In the second part we emphasize the properties of glassy thin films prepared by sol-gel methodology and some applications, of both glasses as the films in photonics, and more attention was given to the nonlinear properties and uses of photonic fibers.

“…To achieve SC generation in the mid-IR spectral region (λ > 2 μm), soft glass fibers including tellurite [5], fluoride [6]- [8], and chalcogenide [9], [10] have been successfully used. Among the three fiber families, chalcogenide and fluoride fibers are more mature, and have been commercialized recently.…”

Mid-infrared Supercontinuum Generation to ∼4.7 μm in a ZBLAN Fiber Pumped by an Optical Parametric Generator

We present mid-infrared (mid-IR) supercontinuum (SC) generation from a stepindex fluorozirconate fiber pumped at 2.25 μm. When 70 ps pulses with a peak power of 128 kW were launched into a ZBLAN fiber with a zero dispersion wavelength at 1.603 μm, SC was extended to 4695 nm, with spectral flatness below 10 dB, in the 2.00-4.56 μm range. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time such a broad and flat mid-IR SC spectrum from a ZBLAN fiber pumped with ps pulses has been achieved. The SC evolution as a function of pump wavelength and pump pulse energy was also experimentally demonstrated.
