Abstract

We report the simulations of coherent supercontinuum generation from 2.63 to 8.04 μm in a silicon germanium photonic waveguide. The influence of input quantum noise pulses on coherence of the generated spectra was investigated. A high value of first order degree of coherence (i.e. 0.98) on supercontinuum spectra was predicted numerically. Our mid-infrared simulated coherent chirped supercontinuum source was then used as the input light source in absorption spectroscopy of carbon dioxide and methane gases. The simulated absorbance spectra for these greenhouse gases have high molecular contrast, thanks to the intense, chirped supercontinuum used.
