Abstract

The conversion of energy into the mid-IR region (>2.2 μm) upon pumping by chirped picosecond pulses at a wavelength of 1.56 μm into a gas-filled hollow-core revolver-type fiber is studied numerically. It is shown that the combined cascade SRS process at vibrational-rotational levels in a D2/N2 mixture increases the degree of supercontinuum coherence and the maximum quantum efficiency of SRS conversion compared to a single-cascade process in deuterium. The possibility of obtaining a supercontinuum in the 3-μm band with a spectral width of 1800 nm and with a maximum quantum conversion efficiency of 48% in the range of D2 and N2 partial pressures up to 50 atm was demonstrated.
