Design of highly birefringent chalcogenide glass PCF: A simplest design

Broadband mid-IR supercontinuum generation in As2Se3 based chalcogenide photonic crystal fiber: A new design and analysis

“…The phenomenon of SCG was first time studied around 1970 in solid and gaseous nonlinear media by Alfano et al [18], while supercontinuum in PCF is demonstrated by Ranka et al in the year 2000 [19]. The progress of SCG in PCF has also been reported in several reviews [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]21].…”

“…Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) or holy fibers (HFs) are fascinating because of their unique linear and nonlinear properties such as dispersion management, high birefringence, large-mode-area with endlessly single-mode operation, high power delivery and supercontinuum generation (SCG) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Supercontinuum (SC) is the nonlinear optical process where ultra-short pulse of laser light is evolved into the light with very broad spectral bandwidth.…”

A new circular chalcogenide/silica hybrid microstructured optical fiber with high negative dispersion for the purpose of dispersion compensation

“…If the incoming light does not resonate with the cladding modes, the light is confined inside the fiber core. This guidance mechanism is known as ARROW [24][25][26][27].…”

Polarization-maintaining chalcogenide all-solid hybrid microstructured optical fibers and their mid-infrared supercontinuum generation

“…In practice, breaking the symmetry of the fiber structure [15][16][17][18] results in high birefringence value. For photonics crystal fibers (PCFs), very complex and asymmetric arrangements of air holes [19][20][21][22][23] are common ways to realize high birefringence. So far, a chalcogenide polarization-maintaining fiber with solid elliptical-core [24] was fabricated in 2017 but the SC generation was not performed.…”
