Abstract
The influence of the width of pump pulses (with λp = 1.026 μm) on the SRS generation of femtosecond pulses in a methane-filled hollow-core fibre is investigated. The width of pump pulses is controlled by transmitting them through an optical dispersion-managed system and thus making them linear frequency-modulated (chirped). Regimes of both the preferred SRS generation of femtosecond pulses at the Stokes wavelength (λst = 1.464 μm) and the generation of a multiband supercontinuum are experimentally demonstrated. A quantum efficiency of 41 % and a pulse width of 590 fs at the Stokes wavelength are obtained for the 1.026 → 1.464 nm Raman generation.
