Mid-infrared absorption spectroscopy and differential damage in vitro between lipids and proteins by an all-fiber-integrated supercontinuum laser.

We identify and differentially damage lipids and proteins using wavelengths between 2.6 and 3.8 mum from a fiber-based supercontinuum (SC) laser.

Power adjustable visible supercontinuum generation using amplified nanosecond gain-switched laser diode.

Supercontinuum (SC) light with a continuous spectrum covering 0.45-1.2 microm is scaled from 250-740 mW by varying the repetition rate of an amplified, frequency doubled, telecom laser diode.

Power scalable mid-infrared supercontinuum generation in ZBLAN fluoride fibers with up to 1.3 watts time-averaged power.

Mid-infrared supercontinuum (SC) extending to ~4.0 mum is generated with 1.3 W time-averaged power, the highest power to our knowledge, in ZBLAN (ZrF(4)-BaF(2)-LaF(3)-AlF(3)-NaF.

Third order cascaded Raman wavelength shifting in chalcogenide fibers and determination of Raman gain coefficient.

Cascaded Raman wavelength shifting up to three orders from 1553 nm to 1867 nm is demonstrated in As(2)S(3)-chalcogenide fibers. Due to a long zero dispersion wavelength for the sulfide fiber (>4.5 mum), pumping the fiber at 1553 nm results in generation of cascaded Stokes orders based on stimulated Raman scattering.

Mid-infrared supercontinuum generation to 4.5 microm in ZBLAN fluoride fibers by nanosecond diode pumping.

A mid-infrared supercontinuum (SC) is generated in ZBLAN (ZrF4-BaF2-LaF3-AlF3-NaF...
