contents The mid-infrared spectral region holds growing importance for applications such as gas sensing and spectroscopy. Although compact ultrashort pulse laser sources are essential to enable these applications, their realization in this spectral range remains an open challenge. We demonstrate an integrated approach to generate pulses in the mid-infrared based on chirped Bragg gratings engineered to compensate for the group delay dispersion of quantum cascade laser frequency comb sources. SiGe graded-index photonic circuits are used for operation around 8 μm wavelength. With this approach, pulses as short as 1.39 picoseconds were obtained, marking a key step towards fully integrated ultrashort pulse sources in the mid-infrared.

The mid-infrared spectral region holds growing importance for applications such as gas sensing and spectroscopy. Although compact ultrashort pulse laser sources are essential to enable these applications, their realization in this spectral range remains an open challenge. We demonstrate an integrated approach to generate pulses in the mid-infrared based on chirped Bragg gratings engineered to compensate for the group delay dispersion of quantum cascade laser frequency comb sources.
