We present numerical modeling of mid-infrared (MIR) supercontinuum generation (SCG) in dispersion-optimized chalcogenide (CHALC) step-index fibres (SIFs) with exceptionally high numerical aperture (NA) around one, pumped with mode-locked praseodymium-doped (Pr(3+)) chalcogenide fibre lasers. The 4.5um laser is assumed to have a repetition rate of 4MHz with 50ps long pulses having a peak power o...

We derive pulse propagation equation for a graphene-clad optical fibre, treating optical response of graphene and nonlinearity of the dielectric fibre core as perturbations in asymptotic expansion of Maxwell equations. We analyse the effective nonlinear and attenuation coefficients due to the graphene layer. Based on the recent experimental measurements of the nonlinear graphene conductivity, w...

Unlike conventional Polymer Optical Fibre (POF), single -mode Microstructured Polymer Optical Fibre (MPOF) can easily be fabricated, as required for many nonlinear applications. It was demonstrated that tungsten electrodes for poling and measuring the electro -optic coefficient could be incorporated in the PMMA fibre during the draw process. Lengths of up to 70m of this fibre were produced. For...

The present investigation deals with the propagation of waves in the layer of an anisotropic fibre reinforced thermoelastic solid. Secular equations for symmetric and skew-symmetric modes of wave propagation in completely separate terms are derived. The amplitude of displacements and temperature distribution were also obtained. Finally, the numerical solution was carried out for Cobalt material...

The chromatic dispersion of optical fiber is a limiting factor in the increase of optical communications transmission bitrates. Chirped Fiber Bragg Gratings submitted to temperature gradients can provide tuneable dispersion compensation, being the tuneability achieved by an appropriate control of the applied temperature gradient. In this work we propose a numerical model that describes heat tra...

Propagation time through an optical fibre changes with the environment, e.g., a change in temperature alters the fibre length and its refractive index. These changes have negligible impact in many key fibre applications, e.g., telecommunications, however, they can be detrimental in many others. Examples are fibre-based interferometry (e.g., for precise measurement and sensing) and fibre-based t...

Let a(x), b(x), p(x) be formal power series in the indeterminate x over C (i.e., elements of the ring C [[x]] of such series) such that ord a(x) = 0, ord p(x) = 1 and p(x) is embeddable into an analytic iteration group (π(s, x))s∈C in C [[x]]. By a covariant embedding of the linear functional equation φ(p(x)) = a(x)φ(x) + b(x), (L) (for the unknown series φ(x) ∈ C [[x]]) with respect to (π(s, x...

This paper presents a review of the latest research and development in the field of fibre optic communication system. Remarkable developments can be seen in the field of optical fibre communication in the last decade. Wide-bandwidth signal transmission with low latency is emerging as a key requirement in a number of applications, including the development of future exaflopscale supercomputers, ...

We generalize ∇(A), which was introduced in [Sch∞], to larger cardinals. For a regular cardinal κ > א0 we denote by ∇κ(A) the statement that A ⊆ κ and for all regular θ > κ, {X ∈ [Lθ[A] ] <κ : X ∩ κ ∈ κ ∧ otp(X ∩ Ord) ∈ Card} is stationary in [Lθ[A] ] . It was shown in [Sch∞] that ∇א1(A) can hold in a set-generic extension of L. We here prove that ∇א2(A) can hold in a set-generic extension of L...
