Single-cascade 1.56-to-2.84 mu m SRS conversion is demonstrated in a hollow-core revolver fibre filled with methane at a pressure of 25 atm under pumping by positively chirped pulses of a high-power erbium-doped all-fibre laser. At a maximum pump pulse energy of 34 mu J (average power 3.74 W) and a pump pulse duration of about 260 ps, ultrashort pulses (13SPs) with a duration of 110 ps and an energy of 1.33 mu J (average power 133 mW) are achieved at the centre wavelength of 2.84 mu m. The gas fibre Raman lasers based on hollow-core fibres with pumping by high-power fibre sources are promising for producing all-fibre systems emitting USPs in the mid-IR range.
