Abstract
In this paper, the performance of an all-fiber short-wave IR (SWIR)
transmitter with wideband tunability and high peak power is reported.
Transmitter construction relied on parametric process in highly nonlinear
fiber to convert a seed laser at 1260 nm to 2155 nm SWIR channel with record
39dB efficiency and translation over 900 nm
spectral range. We demonstrated 61W of peak
converted power at 2 $\mu$m and 26 W at 2.15$\mu$m. Efficient conversion
was made possible by engineered fourth-order dispersion of the highly
nonlinear fiber and construction of a low-noise pump source in a 1550 nm
band.
