Abstract

We report the successful fabrication of mid-infrared waveguides written in a gallium lanthanum sulphide (GLS) substrate via the ultrafast laser inscription technique. Single mode guiding at 2485 nm and 3850 nm is observed. Spectral broadening spanning 1500 nm (-15dB points) is demonstrated under 3850 nm excitation. (C)2012 Optical Society of America
