Supercontinuum generation in angle-etched diamond waveguides

Opt Lett. 2019 Aug 15;44(16):4056-4059. doi: 10.1364/OL.44.004056.

Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate on-chip supercontinuum generation in the visible region in angle-etched diamond waveguides. We measure an output spectrum spanning 670-920 nm in a 5-mm-long waveguide using 100-fs pulses with 187 pJ of incident pulse energy. Our fabrication technique, combined with diamond's broad transparency window, offers a potential route toward broadband supercontinuum generation in the UV domain.
