Abstract

Pumping a quadratic nonlinear crystal in the mid-IR we observe octave-spanning mid-IR supercontinua. A self-acting cascaded process leads to the formation of a self-defocusing nonlinearity, allowing formation of filament-free octave-spanning supercontinua in the 2.0–7.0 μm range with 10s of μJ pulse energies, much higher than filament-based techniques. This allows to use the supercontinuum as ultra-broadband excitation pulses in nonlinear optical applications.
