Efficient anti-stokes signal generation through degenerate four wave mixing in an all solid photonic bandgap fiber

摘要

We reported the generation of visible red light through degenerate four wave mixing (FWM) in an all solid photonic bandgap fiber (PBGF), which was achieved by pumping the fiber with a 800 nm Ti:sapphire-based femtosecond pulse laser. At a fiber length of 30 m, a broadband anti-Stokes spectrum range from 620 nm to 740 nm was obtained at the highest pump power, the spectrum evolution as a function of pump power and propagation distance had been measured. Furthermore, the intensity-dependent parametric gain characteristic is also calculated, which accords well with the experimental results.
