Abstract
An optical wave generator comprising a first-level Raman sideband generator (RSBG). The first-level RSBG comprises a first hollow-core photonic crystal fibre HCPCF (203) arranged to be filled with a Raman active gas and a first two-pump continuous wave (CW) laser source (200) having a first pump laser beam (201) at a first frequency and a second pump laser beam (202) at a second frequency, the laser source being arranged to excite the first HCPCF to generate a Raman sideband spectrum comprising a first plurality of spectral components.
