Mid-infrared to telecom-band stable supercontinuum generation in hydrogenated amorphous silicon waveguides

摘要

We demonstrate the generation of a stable supercontinuum in a 1-cm-long hydrogenated amorphous silicon waveguide by pumping the wire with 1950 nm picosecond pulses in the anomalous dispersion regime. The supercontinuum extends from 1460 to 2485 nm for a coupled peak power of 28.1 W.
