Abstract
We report on the first Raman laser based on a fluoride glass optical fiber. The Raman fiber laser was pumped by a :silica CW fiber laser operating at a wavelength of . A maximum output power of was measured at , corresponding to a frequency shift of (). We observed a threshold power of and a low power slope efficiency of 29% with respect to the launched pump power. Using those results and the known fiber parameters, we estimated a Raman gain peak value of , which is lower than the previously reported values.
