Abstract

A 10 mm long PPLN crystal pumped by 125 nJ, 250 fs pulses centered at 1035 nm yielded by Yb3+ femtosecond fiber oscillator generates femtosecond signal and idler pulses tunable in the 1.35 μm - 1.65 μm and 2.6 μm - 4.2 μm spectral ranges. A numerical model accounting for both second- and third-order nonlinear processes well agree with the recorded signal conversion efficiency (up to 42%), the spectral and temporal profile of the generated pulses. Pulse to pulse stability is drastically improved injecting this compact and versatile device with a continuum generated in a photonic fiber. Further improvements are discussed.
