摘要: A radiation source comprises: a hollow core optical fiber, a working medium; and a pulsed pump radiation source. The hollow core optical fiber comprises a body and has a hollow core. The working medium is disposed within the hollow core. The pulsed pump radiation source is arranged to produce pulsed pump radiation that is received by, and propagates through, the hollow core from an input end to an output end. Parameters of the pulsed pump radiation, the hollow core optical fiber and the working medium are configured to allow soliton self-compression of the pulsed pump radiation so as to change a spectrum of the pulsed pump radiation so as to form output radiation.

摘要: Disclosed is a supercontinuum radiation source comprising a pump laser arrangement for generating pump radiation and comprising a plurality of pump laser heads; a radiation combiner for combining the respective pump radiation from each pump laser head, and a non-linear fiber for receiving said pump radiation so as to excite a working medium within the non-linear fiber to generate said supercontinuum radiation. Each pump laser head has dimensions no greater than 5cm in any direction. Alternatively, or in addition the supercontinuum radiation source further comprises a control arrangement for controlling the pump laser arrangement, said control arrangement being configured for non-simultaneous emission of pulses from each pump laser head.

摘要: Radiation source assembly and method for generating broadband radiation by spectral broadening. The radiation source assembly comprises a pump assembly configured to provide broadband input radiation. The pump assembly comprises a pump source configured to provide first radiation at a pump wavelength, and a broadband assembly configured to provide second radiation comprising a continuous wavelength range, wherein the first radiation and the second radiation form the broadband input radiation. The radiation source assembly further comprises an optical fibre configured to receive the broadband input radiation. The optical fibre comprises a core configured along at least a part of the length of the fibre to guide the received broadband input radiation during propagation through the fibre, so as to generate broadband radiation by spectral broadening to be output by the fibre.

摘要: A multiple wavelength light source device and associated method for generating output radiation comprising a plurality of discrete output wavelength bands. The multiple wavelength light source device comprises a pump radiation source arrangement configured to generate input radiation comprising at least a first frequency component and a second frequency component; and a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber configured to confine a working medium. The hollow-core photonic crystal fiber is configured to receive said input radiation and to generate said plurality of discrete output wavelength bands distributed over a wavelength range of interest via a seed-assisted cascaded four wave mixing (FWM) process in said working medium.

The working medium is disposed within the hollow core. The pulsed pump radiation source is arranged to produce pulsed pump radiation that is received by, and propagates through, the hollow core from an input end to an output end. Parameters of the pulsed pump radiation, the optical fiber and the working medium are configured to allow soliton self-compression of the pulsed pump radiation so as to change a spectrum of the pulsed pump radiation so as to form output radiation. In some embodiments, a length of the optical fiber is such that the output end substantially coincides with a position at which a temporal extent of the pulsed pump radiation is minimal. In some embodiments, a pulse duration of the input pulsed pump radiation is greater than 50 fs.
