Title

Octave-Spanning Infrared Supercontinuum Generation In Robust Chalcogenide Nanotapers Using Picosecond Pulses

Abstract

We report on infrared supercontinuum generation extending over more than one octave of bandwidth, from 850 nm to 2.35 μm, produced in a single spatial mode from a robust, compact, composite chalcogenide glass nanotaper. A picosecond laser at 1.55 μm pumps a high-index-contrast, all-solid nanotaper that strongly confines the field to a 480 nm diameter core, while a thermally compatible built-in polymer jacket lends the nanotaper mechanical stability. © 2012 Optical Society of America.
