摘要：

We demonstrate an integrated all-fiber mid-infrared (mid-IR) supercontinuum (SC) source generated by a 1.95 mu m master oscillator power amplifier system and a single-mode ZBLAN (ZrF4-BaF2-LaF3-AlF3-NaF) fiber. The maximum average output power is 10.67 W with spectral bandwidth covering from similar to 1.9 to 4.1 mu m. The single-mode ZBLAN fiber and silica fiber are thermal-spliced to enhance the robustness and practicability of the system. It is, to the best of our knowledge, the first high-power integrated compacted all-fiber mid-IR SC source based on thermal-spliced silica fiber and ZBLAN fiber. (C) 2016 Chinese Laser Press
