  • 随着温室效应的加剧,对于二氧化碳等气体远红外特征吸收波段的监测需求不断增多。超连续谱光源具有光谱宽、亮度高、相干性好等特点,在红外气体检测中表现出明显优势。本文采用新型碲化物光纤作为非线性介质,围绕远红外超连续谱的产生展开研究。基于分步傅里叶方法,对飞秒脉冲在光纤中的传输过程以及光谱的演化情况进行了数值模拟,重点分析了泵浦波长、光纤长度和峰值功率对远红外超连续谱展宽的影响。本文还采用了10.5 μm飞秒脉冲作为泵浦,对该光纤产生远红外超连续谱的特性进行了数值模拟,结果表明该碲化物光纤在较低峰值功率下(千瓦数量级)即可获得覆盖7–17 μm(40 dB)的宽谱远红外超连续谱输出。因此,本研究可为今后设计远红外超连续谱光源提供一定的理论依据,具有重要的意义。

     

    With the intensification of the greenhouse effect, there is an increasing demand for monitoring the characteristic absorption bands of gases such as carbon dioxide in the mid- and far-infrared regions. The mid-infrared spectral region covers the typical molecular fingerprint region and includes the absorption band of greenhouse gases such as CO₂ around 15 μm. Blackbody radiation sources suffer from low brightness and poor coherence, whereas lasers exhibit high brightness but limited spectral bandwidth. Supercontinuum sources combine the advantages of both, offering broad spectral coverage, high brightness, and good coherence, and therefore demonstrate significant potential for infrared gas detection. However, commonly used nonlinear fibers, such as silica, fluoride, and tellurite fibers, still face certain limitations in terms of output performance. Chalcogenide glass possesses a broader mid- and far-infrared transmission range and a higher nonlinear coefficient, making it a promising candidate material for far-infrared supercontinuum generation. In this study, a novel telluride fiber was employed as the nonlinear medium to investigate far-infrared supercontinuum generation. Based on the split-step Fourier method, numerical simulations were performed to analyze the propagation dynamics of femtosecond pulses in the fiber and the corresponding evolution of the optical spectrum. The effects of fiber length, pump wavelength, and peak power on far-infrared supercontinuum spectral broadening were systematically investigated. Furthermore, far-infrared supercontinuum generation in the proposed fiber was numerically simulated using a 10.5 μm femtosecond pump pulse. The results show that the telluride fiber can generate broadband far-infrared supercontinuum output spanning 7–17 μm at a 40 dB intensity level under relatively low peak power conditions on the order of kilowatts. Therefore, this work provides a theoretical basis for the future design of far-infrared supercontinuum sources and is of great significance for the development of infrared spectroscopic applications.
