Dysprosium-doped ZBLAN fiber laser tunable from 2.8 {\mu}m to 3.4 {\mu}m, pumped at 1.7 {\mu}m
We demonstrate a mid-infrared dysprosium-doped fluoride fiber laser with a continuously tunable output range of 573 nm, pumped by a 1.7 {\mu}m Raman fiber laser. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the largest tuning range achieved to date from

Design Considerations for Continuous Wave Intracavity Backwards Optical Parametric Oscillators
In this paper, we report a theoretical systematic study of continuous wave intracavity backwards optical parametric oscillators based on periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) for mid-infrared (mid-IR) light generation. We study the effects of varying

Estimating optical feedback from a chalcogenide fiber in mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers
The amount of optical feedback originating from a chalcogenide fiber used to couple light from a mid-infrared quantum cascade laser is evaluated experimentally. Threshold reduction measurements on the fibered laser, combined with an analytical study of a

Femtosecond Photodissociation of Molecules Facilitated by Noise
We investigate the dynamics of diatomic molecules subjected to both a femtosecond mid-infrared laser pulse and Gaussian white noise. The stochastic Schr\"odinger equation with a Morse potential is used to describe the molecular vibrations under noise and
