The mid-infrared (mid-IR, 3 to 15 um) wavelength domain is gaining a significant momentum across a whole range of applications from free-sapce telecommunications to health, industrial and environmental monitoring. Despite its recognized potential, mid-IR technologies are still limited to niche applications, largely due to the size of the devices and the prohibitive costs of the instruments used. Recently, interest in the mid-IR has been growing along with breakthrough demonstrations related to novel light sources in this band. In particular, supercontinuum sources are of great interest because of their high spectral brightness over a large spectral bandwidth with intense research efforts to reach deeper into the mid-IR so as to leverage the full application potential of the mid-IR. MIRthFUL will address current challenges of the mid-IR supercontinuum technology through realizing a robust, reliable and miniaturized broadband supercontinuum source with highly tunable performance in a hybrid fiber/chip architecture.
