Abstract :
This work presents first experimental measurements of cascaded stimulated Raman scattering emission from high-Q As2s3 microspheres in the mid-IR region of 2 μm. The pumping setup used is self-frequency locked on the microsphere resonances. Using a pump signal in the 1880 nm band of thulium, high order stimulated Raman emission up to the 3rd order and reaching a band centered at 2355 nm has been observed.
