“…In this case, in the simple quasi-TE mode, the period of the input pulse is 50 fs, where its power is 10 kW at a middle wavelength of 1300 nm. It is shown that, after approximately 0.3 mm, the spectrum reaches relative equilibrium and is stable at 0.3 mm (Seifouri et al 2017a;Krishna et al 2017;Seifouri et al 2017b).…”

Supercontinuum spectrum generation is a process in which laser beam in femtoseconds and high power (kilowatts) is converted into a broad-spectrum beam of light after passing through a specific environment. Of course, achieving this range comes with many limitations. In this paper, photonic crystal fibers are used as a substrate for input pulse due to the ability to control dispersion and loss, and creating single-mode operating conditions. One of the main factors for the formation of supercontinuum spectra of injection pulses is maintaining the nonlinear performance of this type of fiber by controlling the effective mode area and also using chalcogenides (nonlinear coefficients about 100 times higher than silica) in their structure. In the proposed structure, a photonic crystal fiber with silica base element and air cavities with hexagonal structure with the center of Ge11.5As24Se64.5 chalcogenide element have been used to provide the nonlinear property of the structure. Also, in this structure, a ring of Ge20Sb15Se65 chalcogenide elements has been used to reduce the effective mode region and create a flat dispersion curve at a wavelength of 1300 nm (second telecommunication window). The input pulse power is 10 kW and its width is 50 femtoseconds, which has caused the range of the supercontinuum from 800 nm to 1900 nm. This structure can be used to provide the required wavelengths as a carrier in a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM).
