Abstract
We investigate an original approach for the generation of unequally spaced frequency combs using (2) –(3) nonlinearities in multimode graded-index (MM-GRIN) fiber. In a preliminary step, the MM-GRIN fiber (50 µm of core diameter and 125 μm of cladding diameter) is optically poled with a Nd:YAG sub-nanosecond microchip laser at 1064 nm. As a results, a double periodical inscription of a complex second order non-linearity χ(2) grating was led. The resulting χ(2) inscription allows the generation of second harmonic wave (SH) from a supercontinuum obtained in the infrared domain under the Raman and soliton propagation actions. We then detect the generation of various irregularly spaced spectral peaks surrounding the original SH (532 nm) at the fiber output allowing harmonic generation on more than 100 nm in the visible domain.
