High Power Highly Nonlinear Holey Fiber with Low Confinement Loss for Supercontinuum Light Sources

The high power holey fiber is an efficient supercontinuum light source by using picosecond pulse, which is a less expensive laser source compared with low power and expensive femtosecond laser sources. In this paper, a high power highly nonlinear holey fiber (HN-HF) with a low confinement loss is proposed for supercontinuum light sources. The finite difference method is used to calculate the different properties of the proposed HN-HF. High nonlinear coefficients are obtained at 1.06 μm, 1.31 μm, and 1.55 μm wavelengths with flattened chromatic dispersion and low confinement losses simultaneously. Moreover, numerical simulation results show that high power broad supercontinuum spectra with very short length of the proposed photonic crystal fiber are achieved.

Photonic crystal fiber with novel dispersion properties

Our recent research on designing microstruc-tured fiber with novel dispersion properties is reported in this paper. Two kinds ofphotonic crystal fibers (PCFs) are introduced first. One is the highly nonlinear PCF with broadband nearly zero flatten dispersion. With introducing the germanium-doped (Ge-doped) core into highly non-linear PCF and optimizing the diameters of the first two inner rings of air holes, a new structure of highly non-linear PCF was designed with the nonlinear coefficient up to 47 W-1·km-1 at the wavelength 1.55 μm and nearly zero flattened dispersion of ±0.5 ps/(km·nm) in telecom-munication window (1460-1625nm). Another is the highly negative PCF with a ring of fluorin-doped (F-doped) rods to form its outer ring core while pure silica rods to form its inner core. The peak dispersion - 1064 ps/(km·nm) in 8 nm full width at half maximum (FWHM) wavelength range and -365ps/(km·nm) in 20nm (FWHM) wavelength range can be reached by adjusting the structure parameters. Then, our recent research on the fabrication of PCFs is reported. Effects of draw parameters such as drawing temperature, feed speed, and furnace temperature on the geometry of the final photonic crystal fiber are investigated.
