Abstract

Mid-infrared cascaded stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is experimentally investigated in an As-S optical fiber which is fabricated based on As38S62 and As36S64 glasses and whose fiber loss is ∼0.08 dB/m at1545 nm. Using a nanosecond laser operated at ∼1545 nm as the pump source, mid-infrared cascaded SRS up to eight orders is obtained in a 16 m As-S fiber. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of SRS of such high order in non-silica optical fibers, and it may contribute to developing tunable mid-infrared Raman fiber lasers using C-band pump sources.
