Development of Dispersion-Optimized Photonic Crystal Fibers Based on Heavy Metal Oxide Glasses for Broadband Infrared Supercontinuum Generation with Fiber Lasers

Broadband infrared supercontinuum generation in hexagonal-lattice tellurite photonic crystal fiber with dispersion optimized for pumping near 1560  nm: reply.

We respond to the comment submitted by Xian Feng on our recent Letter, Opt. Lett.38, 4679 (2013). The comment addressed the attenuation of our oxide tellurite glass labeled TWPN/I/6. We provide the originally measured absorbance spectrum of the glass and correct values of its mid-infrared attenuation.

Mid Infrared Supercontinuum Generation in Photonic Crystal Fiber

Supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fiber

A topical review of numerical and experimental studies of supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fiber is presented over the full range of experimentally reported parameters, from the femtosecond to the continuous-wave regime. Results from numerical simulations are used to discuss the temporal and spectral characteristics of the supercontinuum, and to interpret the physics of the underly...

Photonic crystal fibers and fiber lasers (Invited)

Photonic crystal fibers and fiber lasers have been two of the most rapidly evolving areas of optics and photonics over the past few years. Recent developments in the field of photonic crystal fibers are enabling new ways to generate, transform, and deliver light, and have significant implications for fiber laser design and applications. We review the ways in which photonic crystal fibers are af...

Photonic Crystal Fibers with Optimized Dispersion for Telecommunication Systems

The use of Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCF) is understood within their unique chromatic dispersion characteristics and nonlinear behavior, which is suitable for dispersion compensation or transmission of information without pulse spreading, leading to an intersymbol interference. Pulse spreading being the result of chromatic dispersion in optical fibers is considered as one of the critical issues ...
