Long-wavelength continuum generation about the second dispersion zero of a tapered fiber.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A dispersion zero near 1300 nm of a narrow-diameter tapered fiber is used to generate broadband, near-infrared light. When femtosecond pulses at 1260 nm with 750 pJ of energy are launched in proximity to the second zero-dispersion wavelength, a continuum spanning 1000-1700 nm is produced.

Broadband Dispersion Characterization of Chalcogenide Tapered Photonic Crystal Fiber
Group-velocity dispersion of birefringent GeAsSe tapered PCF is directly measured over 1900-2300nm range using all-fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer. We experimentally prove that zero-dispersion wavelength of chalcogenide PCFs can be shifted to thulium/holmium doped silica emission band.

متن کاملGeneration, characterization, and application of broadband coherent femtosecond visible pulses in dispersion micromanaged holey fibers
Submillimeter-scale dispersion micromanagement (DMM) is discussed and used to generate coherent and stable femtosecond visible pulses (bandwidth up to 50 nm and scalable center wavelength in the range of 385–625 nm) in tapered holey fibers as short as 10 mm. The longitudinal variation of the phase-matching conditions for Cherenkov radiation and four-wave mixing explains the results well. We com...
متن کاملImprovement of Optical Properties in Hexagonal Index-guiding Photonic Crystal Fiber for Optical Communications
Waveguides with low confinement loss, low chromatic dispersion, and low nonlinear effects are used in optical communication systems. Optical fibers can also be employed in such systems. Besides optical fibers, photonic crystal fibers are also highly suitable transmission media for optical communication systems. In this paper, we introduce two new designs of index-guiding photonic crystal fiber ...
متن کاملLong wavelength extension of CW-pumped supercontinuum through soliton-dispersive wave interactions.
A supercontinuum spanning over 700 nm with an average spectral power of 1.7 mW/nm and flatness of 6 dB was produced in a solid core, double zero dispersion wavelength photonic crystal fiber pumped with a high power, continuous-wave ytterbium fiber laser. The spectrum displays a strong feature centered around 1980 nm. Through numerical simulations we demonstrate that this feature is initially ge...
متن کاملImpact of Fourth-Order Dispersion Coefficient on the Gain Spectrum and the Saturation Behavior of One-Pump Fiber Optical Parametric Amplifiers
In this paper, the gain spectrum and the saturation behavior of one-pump fiber optical parametric amplifiers (1-P FOPAs) are investigated by taking into account the fourth-order dispersion coefficient b4 in the analysis. The results show that it is necessary to consider b4 in the analysis when the wavelength difference between the signal and pump waves is large enough and/or whenever the pump w...
