Abstract
We demonstrate soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS), multiple optical solitons and supercontinuum (SC) generation in a tellurite microstructured optical fiber (TMOF). By using an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) with the pulse of â¼80Â MHz and â¼200Â fs as the pump source, the evolution of SSFS is investigated at the pump wavelengths of â¼1730, 1750, 1810 and 1900Â nm with the fiber length of â¼20Â cm. At the pump wavelength of â¼1730Â nm, SSFS with the soliton center wavelength from â¼1850 to 1995Â nm is observed. Increasing the pump wavelength to â¼1920Â nm and the fiber length to â¼100Â cm, stable multiple optical solitons and dispersive waves (DWs) are obtained. Changing the pump source to a SC source which is generated in a single mode fiber (SMF) pumped by a nanosecond laser with the wavelength of â¼1550Â nm, a broadband SC spectrum from â¼580 to 2796Â nm is obtained at the pump power of â¼202Â mW. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of SC generation in the TMOF by using SC light generated by a nanosecond laser.
