Pushing the limits of fluoride glass transmission to create 4 micron class fibre laser systems
Abstract
Light source development for mid infrared 3 ?m to 30 ?m emission is one of the fastest growing areas in photonics. All chemical and biological compounds that are relevant to our health, our security and the environment interact strongly with light at mid infrared wavelengths. This proposal seeks funding to significantly extend the emission wavelength from fibre lasers to the 4 ?m region and beyond using a series of innovations and newly developed indium fluoride optical fibre. The proposed project will create efficient diode pumped fluoride glass fibre lasers in both CW and ultrafast pulse arrangements. Significantly, we will create the longest wavelength achieved from a fibre laser, paving the way for future applications.
