Abstract

We numerically investigate Raman soliton generation in a fluoride photonic crystal fiber (PCF) pumped by 1.93 μm femtosecond fiber lasers in order to get widely tunable laser source in the mid-infrared region. The simulated results show that a continuously tunable range (1.93 ∼ 3.95 μm) over 2000 nm is achieved in 1-m-long fluoride PCF pumped by a 1.93 μm femtosecond fiber laser with a pulse width of 200 fs. The power conversion efficiency is also calculated and the maximum efficiency can be up to 84.27%.
