Abstract

We report a mid-infrared (MIR) source emitting at 3 μm, employing a novel χ⁽³⁾/χ⁽²⁾ cascaded nonlinear conversion architecture. Picosecond pulses from a 1.064 μm mode-locked Yb:fiber pump laser are used to generate 1.65 μm signal pulses through χ⁽³⁾ based four-wave mixing in photonic crystal fiber (PCF). The output of the PCF is then directly focused into a periodically poled lithium niobate crystal to generate idler radiation around 3 μm through χ⁽²⁾ based three-wave mixing between the pump and signal pulses.
