Supercontinuum generation in bulk and photonic crystal fibers
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we overview the concept of supercontinuum generation (SCG) and take a brief look at several mechanisms that are believed to give rise to this not yet fully understood phenomenon. We will emphasize why photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is a more desirable medium for observation of SCG and will conclude with a discussion of several emerging applications.

Supercontinuum Generation in a Highly Nonlinear Chalcogenide/ MgF2 Hybrid Photonic Crystal Fiber
In this paper, we report the numerical analysis of a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) for generating an efficient supercontinuum medium. For our computational studies, the core of the proposed structure is made up of As2Se3 and the cladding structure consists of an inner ring of holes made up As2Se3 and four outer rings of air holes in MgF2. The proposed structure provides excellent nonlinear coeff...

In this paper, we investigate the evolution of supercontinuum and femtosecond optical pulses generation through square lattice elliptical-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) at 1550 nm by using both full-vector multipole method (M.P.M) and novel concrete algorithms: symmetric split-step Fourier (SSF) and fourth order Runge Kutta (RK4) which is an accurate method to solve the general nonlinear...
متن کاملTruncated thermalization of optical waves through supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fibers
We revisit the process of optical wave thermalization through supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fibers. We report theoretically and numerically a phenomenon of ‘truncated thermalization’: The optical wave exhibits an irreversible evolution toward a Rayleigh-Jeans thermodynamic equilibrium state characterized by a compactly supported spectral shape. This phenomenon sheds new light on...
متن کاملMIR supercontinuum in all-normal dispersion Chalcogenide photonic crystal fibers pumped with 2μm femtosecond laser
We demonstrate mid-infrared supercontinuum generation in an all-normal dispersion Chalcogenide PCF pumped by fiber laser. The -20dB bandwidth is 1.7~2.7μm dominated by selfphase modulation and optical wave breaking. Tapering is proposed to improve performance.

متن کاملSupercontinuum generation of higher-order solitons by fission in photonic crystal fibers.
The nonlinear pulse propagation in photonic crystal fibers without slowly varying envelope approximation is studied using an improved variant of first-order wave equation. Supercontinuum generation is shown to be caused by a novel mechanism of spectral broadening through fission of higher-order solitons into redshifted fundamental solitons and blueshifted nonsolitonic radiation. Good agreement ...
