In this paper, continuous tuning of four-wave mixing bands in an ethanol-filled photonic crystal fiber is investigated. A wide tuning range of the parametric bands, from 745 nm to 920 nm (signal) and from 1260 nm to 1710 nm (idler), is achieved through the thermo-optic effect. This corresponds to a frequency tuning range higher than 2000 cm−1; such wide range can be particularly useful in applications that require broadband wavelength conversion, e.g., CARS microscopy. Numerical calculations are in good agreement with experimental measurements.
