Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in gas-filled hollow-core fibers (HCFs) provides high gain and narrow linewidth, making it a promising platform for advanced photonic applications. While Brillouin gain is known to depend quadratically on pressure and linewidth inversely on pressure, the combined effect of pressure and temperature - through their influence on gas density-has not been fully explored. In this study, we demonstrate that lowering the gas temperature from 373.15 K to 233.15 K at a pressure of 100 bars (using nitrogen) leads to a six-fold increase in Brillouin gain and a twofold reduction in linewidth. We systematically investigate the temperature dependence of key Brillouin parameters, including gain, frequency shift, linewidth, acoustic velocity, and temperature sensitivity, in nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases. The results reveal distinct temperature-dependent behaviors, aligning well with theoretical predictions, and provide new insights, to the best of our knowledge, into optimizing SBS performance in gas-filled hollow-core fibers.

By compressing the pump pulses from 170 fs down to 43 fs using an argon-filled hollow-core fiber and chirped mirrors, the terahertz conversion efficiency is increased by 2.4 times, leading to the generation of multi-microjoule terahertz pulses with a frequency spectrum almost twice as wide, extending up to 19 THz.

Hollow core optical fibers of numerous guiding mechanisms have been studied in the past decades for their advantages on guiding light in air core. This work demonstrates a new hollow core optical fiber based on a different guiding mechanism, which confines light with a cladding made of epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) material through total internal reflection. We show that the addition of a layer of ENZ material coating (e.

Significance: Extending the photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) into the mid-infrared (MIR) molecular fingerprint region constitutes a promising route toward label-free imaging of biological molecular structures. Realizing this objective requires a high-energy nanosecond MIR laser source. However, existing MIR laser technologies are limited to either low pulse energy or free-space structure that is sensitive to environmental conditions.

The synthesis of multiple narrow optical spectral lines, precisely and independently tuned across the near- to mid-infrared region, is a pivotal research area that enables selective and real-time detection of trace gas species within complex gas mixtures. However, existing methods for developing such light sources suffer from limited flexibility and very low pulse energy, particularly in the mid-infrared domain. Here, we introduce a concept that is based on the combination of an appropriate design of near-infrared fiber laser pump and cascaded configuration of gas-filled anti-resonant hollow-core fiber technology.
