Although ultrafast rare-earth-doped fiber lasers mode-locked at near-infrared and similar to 3 mu m wavelengths have been well developed, it is relatively difficult to achieve ultrafast fiber laser emitting in the 2.1-2.7 pm spectral gap between similar to 2 mu m (Tm fiber) and similar to 2.8 mu m (Er or Ho fluoride fiber). In this paper, we report the generation of 2.1-2.7 mu m tunable femtosecond Raman solitons from a compact fusion-spliced all-fiber system using a home-made 1.96 mu m ultrafast pump source and a MIR-available germania-core fiber. At first, a Tm-doped double-clad fiber amplifier is used to not only boost up the power of 1957 nm femtosecond seed laser, but also to generate the first-order soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS). The first-order Raman solitons can be tuned from 2.036 to 2.152 mu m, have a pulse duration of similar to 480 fs and can reach a pulse energy of 1.07 nJ. The first-order Raman solitons are further injected into a 94 mol.% germania-core fiber to excite the second-order SSFS. The second-order solitons can be tuned to longer wavelengths, i.e. from 2.157 mu m up to 2.690 mu m. Our work could provide an effective way to develop compact, all-fiber ultrafast MIR laser sources with the continuous wavelength tuning of 2.1-2.7 mu m.
