研究目的
Investigating the development of a fully-fiberized, fCEO-free mid-IR optical frequency comb source for laser spectroscopy applications.
研究成果
The presented DFG source offers exceptional simplicity and frep tunability, making it suitable for outside-of-lab applications in broadband spectroscopy and sensing. The work demonstrates a significant advancement in laser-based gas detection techniques.
研究不足
The tuning range of the source is dependent on the peak power of the pulses, and the repetition frequency tuning is limited to a 1.8 kHz range.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilizes a ring-cavity graphene mode-locked laser to generate sub-250 fs pulses at 1560 nm. These pulses are split and directed to separate sections for amplification and soliton-shifting into the
2:9 - 2 μm wavelength region, followed by differential frequency generation (DFG) in an OP-GaP crystal to produce mid-IR radiation. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The setup includes a custom manufactured nonlinear fiber with tailored dispersion (PCF) and a 3 mm-long OP-GaP crystal.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes a graphene mode-locked fiber laser, PM1550 fiber, PCF, OP-GaP crystal, and Mercury cadmium telluride detector.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Pulses are amplified and recompressed before being focused on the OP-GaP crystal for DFG.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The RF spectrum of the mid-IR pulses is analyzed, with an inset showing repetition rate tuning range.
