The operating principle relies on the simultaneous broadband parametric conversion of two seeds in a highly nonlinear silica fiber pumped in the L-band followed by amplification and equalization in an appended thulium- and holmium- doped fiber cascade directly pumped by their respective previous stage.Broadly tunable source around 2050 nm based on wideband parametric conversion and thulium–holmium amplification cascadetext::journal::journal article::research article
