چکیده

A theoretical study of super generation in photonic crystal fiber and its application to pulse compression is presented. The evolution of the spectrum can be divided into three stages: initial broadening below a certain threshold propagation distance, dramatic broadening to a supercontinuum at a threshold distance, and, finally, saturation of the spectral width on propagation. It is found that the group delay and group-delay dispersion of the supercontinum are sensitive to the input pulse peak power after further propagation at the third stage. Fluctuations from the input pulse are amplified and translated into fluctuations and time shift of the compressed pulses. There exists an optimum compressed distance at which compressed pulses with negligible fluctuation and time shift can be obtained.

Supercontinuum 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 ...

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...

Coherent supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fiber with all-normal group velocity dispersion

We demonstrate supercontinuum generation in a photonic crystal fiber with all-normal group velocity dispersion. Pumping a short section of this fiber with compressed pulses from a compact amplified fiber laser generates a 200 nm bandwidth continuum with typical self-phasemodulation characteristics. We demonstrate that the supercontinuum is compressible to a duration of 26 fs. It therefore has a...

Numerical analysis of supercontinuum generation in highly nonlinear photonic crystal fibers with ultrashort pulses

We have numerically investigated supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fibers with zero-dispersion wavelengths in the vicinity of 800 nm by using an input pulse with a peak power of about 20 kW and a width of about 10 fs. The effects of fiber dispersion and the input pulse parameters on the generated optical spectra are quantitatively analyzed. The propagation length necessary for the g...
