Broadband telecom to mid-infrared supercontinuum generation in a dispersion-engineered silicon germanium waveguide

We demonstrate broadband supercontinuum generation (SCG) in a dispersion-engineered silicon-germanium waveguide. The 3 cm long waveguide is pumped by femtosecond pulses at 2.4 µm, and the generated supercontinuum extends from 1.45 to 2.79 µm (at the -30dB point). The broadening is mainly driven by t...
