摘要
We report on a 3 W Mid-IR supercontinuum extended up to 4.6 mu m based on an all-PM thulium doped fiber gain-switched laser seeding an InF3 fiber. This innovative fiber presents a specific design that increases non-linear effects and shows very weak background losses. Thanks to the versatility of our gain-switched laser, all the pulse parameters have been widely optimized to generate a supercontinuum emission with the highest average power and the largest spectrum.
