Abstract

We experimentally investigate mid-infrared (MIR) supercontinuum (SC) generation in chalcogenide step-index optical fibers. The pump source is generated by the difference frequency generation with a pulse width of ~170 fs, a repetition rate of ~1000 Hz, and a wavelength range tunable from 2.5 to 11 μm. The wide MIR SC will be applied in sensing, medical and biological imaging areas.
