摘要

We present an investigation on the generation of supercontinuum in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral region. Namely, we study a silica-based anti-resonant hollow-core fiber which has good guidance properties in the mid-IR filled with supercritical xenon providing the necessary high nonlinearity. Our numerical study shows that by launching a 200 nJ pump of 100 fs centered at 3.70 mu m, a supercontinuum that spans from 1.85 to 5.20 mu m can be generated. Such sources are potentially useful for applications, such as the remote sensing of various molecules, medical imaging diagnosis, and surgery.
