Analysis and Design of Single-Mode As₂Se₃-Chalcogenide Photonic Crystal Fiber for Generation of Slow Light With Tunable Features

Abstract

Theoretical investigation leading to design of singlemode As 2 Se 3 -chalcogenide photonic crystal fiber is reported for generation of tunable slow light. Maximum allowable pump power for undistorted output pulse, Brillouin gain and time-delay experienced by the pulse propagating in designed photonic crystal fibers are simulated. We have found that Brillouin gain upto ~ 88 dB/m and time delay up to ~137 ns can be obtained from 1 meter long photonic crystal fiber pumped with 100 mW. Simulated results indicate that the time delay experienced by the pulse can be tuned with the pump power and structural parameters of As 2 Se 3 -chalcogenide photonic crystal fiber.Index Terms-Nonlinear optics, highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber, stimulated Brillouin scattering. 1077-260X (c)

Temperature Sensing Utilizing Stimulate Brillouin Scattering Fast Light in Liquid-Filled Photonic Crystal Fibers

“…Meanwhile, compared with conventional optical fiber, photonic crystal fiber (PCF) [7] exhibits more flexibility on designing optical components or sensors because of its special structure, and PCF also exhibits unique optical features, such as adjustable dispersion, endless single mode transmission, large mode area and high nonlinearity. In recent years, various ways to realize the slow or fast light in optical fibers have been exploited at room temperature, for example, coherent population oscillation (CPO) [8], stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), optical parametric amplification (OPA) [9], and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) [10]. The fast or slow light technology based on SBS has attracted more interest due to it occurring at room temperature, operating at any wavelength, having a simple compact structure and being compatible with the existing communication system.…”
