“…Moreover, the losses in the fiber increase exponentially at wavelengths above 4 µm, reducing the peak power even more. This behavior was discussed on the theoretical level recently 36 . In fact, this phenomenon is the motivation for using a cascade of several optical fibers with different properties to generate an important wavelength shift, an approach already discussed by different groups 26 , 28 , 30 , 35 .…”

A tunable ultrashort soliton pulse source reaching up to 4.8 µm is demonstrated based on a 2.8 µm femtosecond fiber laser coupled to a zirconium fluoride fiber amplifier followed by a small core indium fluoride fiber. This demonstration is extending by 300 nm the long wavelength limit previously reported with soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS) sources based on fluoride fibers. Our experimental and numerical investigation highlighted the spectral dynamics associated with the generation of highly redshifted pulses in the mid-infrared using SSFS enhanced by soliton fission. This study is intended at providing a better understanding of the potential and limitations of SSFS based tunable femtosecond fiber sources in the 3–5 µm spectral range.

A tunable ultrashort soliton pulse source reaching up to 4.8 µm is demonstrated based on a 2.8 µm femtosecond fiber lasercoupled to a zirconium fluoride fiber amplifier followed by a small core indium fluoride fiber.This demonstration is extendingby 500 nm the long wavelength limit previously reported with soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS) sources based on fluoridefibers. Our experimental and numerical investigation highlighted the spectral dynamics associated with the generation of highlyredshifted pulses in the MIR using SSFS enhanced by soliton fission. This study is intended at providing a better understandingof the potential and limitations of SSFS based tunable femtosecond fiber sources in the 3-5 µm spectral range.

“…oliton self-frequency shift (SSFS) is a well-known wavelength conversion process that generates femtosecond pulses with broad spectral tunability [1]- [3]. In the 2 µm wavelength band, SSFS has been demonstrated on one hand from passive fibers, and on the other hand from active fibers.…”

We present a soliton order preservation mechanism leading to broad tunability with high energy conversion efficiency (ECE) from a fiber-based soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS) system. Here, a pulse compressing fiber, placed before the Raman shifting nonlinear fiber (NLF), acts as a soliton order preserver. Thanks to this passive mechanism, the soliton order at the input of the NLF is preserved within 2.080% is maintained over a tunable range as large as 180 nm in a passive fiber-based SSFS system. Solitons are also tunable up to 320 nm in the wavelength range of 1.96-2.28 µm with ECE>50%. Such a soliton order preservation mechanism that enables a high ECE while maintaining a broad soliton tunability is of utmost practical interest for wavelength conversion systems.
