    • Spectral-luminescent properties of vapor deposited Cr:ZnS thin films and their application as saturable absorbers for 1.5-μm erbium lasers 

      Tolstik, Nikolai; Sorokin, Evgeni; Karhu, Eric Andrew; Gorbachenya, Konstantin N.; Polyakov, Stanislav; Kisel, Victor E.; Kuleshov, Nikolai V.; Furtula, Vedran; Gibson, Ursula; Sorokina, Irina T (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      We report the results of the extensive spectral-luminescent characterization including concentration quenching analysis of the first laser-quality vapor-deposited Cr:ZnS films, and demonstrate their use as saturable ...
    • Supercontinuum generation in Mid-IR using Chalcogenide and Germanate Nonlinear Fiber 

      Tolstik, Nikolai; Sorokin, Evgeni; Kalashnikov, Vladimir; Klimentov, Dmitry; Dvoyrin, Vladislav; Sorokina, Irina T (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      We demonstrate mid-infrared (mid-IR) supercontinuum generation with bandwidth from 2 to 2.8 μm at 20 dB below the peak in nonlinear step-index chalcogenide fiber using femtosecond mid-IR pulses directly from the oscillator. ...
    • Three-optical-cycle frequency comb centered around 4.2 µm using OP-GaP-based half-harmonic generation 

      Sorokin, Evgeni; Marandi, Alireza; Schunemann, PG; Fejer, M; Sorokina, Irina T; Byer, Robert L. (Chapter, 2016)
      We report a broadband mid-infrared frequency comb with three-optical-cycle pulse duration centered around 4.2 µm, with up to 220 mW average power, via OP-GaP-based half-harmonic generation pumped by mode-locked fiber lasers.
    • Towards Mid-IR Waveguide Lasers: Transition Metal Doped ZnS Thin Films 

      Karhu, Eric Andrew; Tolstik, Nikolai; Sorokin, Evgeni; Polyakov, Stanislav; Zamiri, Reza; Furtula, Vedran; Østerberg, Ulf Lennart; Sorokina, Irina T; Gibson, Ursula (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Thin films of Cr and Fe-doped ZnS suitable for waveguide mid-IR applications, with well-isolated TM2+ peaks, and Cr2+ absorption and fluorescence comparable to bulk crystals were investigated. Raman data indicate that the ...
    • Ultrabroad Continuous-Wave Tuning of Ceramic Cr:ZnSe and Cr:ZnS Lasers 

      Sorokin, Evgeni; Sorokina, Irina T; Mirov, M.; Fedorov, V.; Moskalev, I.; Mirov, S. (Chapter, 2010)
      Using a single set of optics, we demonstrate ultrabroad tuning over more than 1300 nm from 1973 to 3349 nm in Cr:ZnSe and from 1962 to 3195 nm in Cr:ZnS at <10 GHz linewidth.
    • Ultrafast fiber-based lasers beyond 2 µm 

      Sorokina, Irina T; Tolstik, Nikolai; Richter, Roland; Chahal, Radwan; Sorokin, Evgeni (Chapter, 2017)
      The talk reviews recent advances in fiber based ultrafast mid-IR lasers and frequency combs, outlines the trends in materials as well as novel approaches for generation of ultra-broadband spectra above 2 mm.
