Journal ArticleDOI
Supercontinuum generation from ~19 to 45 μmin ZBLAN fiber with high average power generation beyond 38 μm using a thulium-doped fiber amplifier
Ojas P. Kulkarni,Vinay V. Alexander,Malay Kumar,Michael J. Freeman,Mohammed N. Islam,Fred L. Terry,Manickam Neelakandan,Allan Chan +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a mid-IR supercontinuum (SC) fiber laser based on a thulium-doped fiber amplifier (TDFA) is demonstrated with a continuous spectrum extending from ∼1.9 to 4.5 μm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stand-off detection of solid targets with diffuse reflection spectroscopy using a high-power mid-infrared supercontinuum source
Malay Kumar,Mohammed N. Islam,Fred L. Terry,Michael J. Freeman,Allan Chan,Manickam Neelakandan,Tariq Manzur +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the diffuse reflection spectrum of solid samples such as explosives (TNT, RDX, PETN), fertilizers (ammonium nitrate, urea), and paints (automotive and military grade) at a stand-off distance of 5m using a mid-infrared supercontinuum light source with 3.9 W average output power.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation instability initiated high power all-fiber supercontinuum lasers and their applications
Vinay V. Alexander,Ojas P. Kulkarni,Malay Kumar,Chenan Xia,Mohammed N. Islam,Fred L. Terry,Michael J. Welsh,Kevin Ke,Michael J. Freeman,Manickam Neelakandan,Allan Chan +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a high average power, all-fiber integrated, broadband supercontinuum (SC) sources using amplified picosecond/nanosecond laser diode (LD) pulses followed by modulation instability induced pulse breakup is presented and used to demonstrate SC sources from the mid-IR to the visible wavelengths.
