Mid-infrared supercontinuum in a Ge_11:5As₂₄Se_64:5chalcogenide waveguide

Ultraflat broadband supercontinuum in highly nonlinear Ge11.5As24Se64.5 photonic crystal fibres

“…The supercontinuum spanning up to 4600 nm has been achieved. Very recently, Panarit Sakunasinha et al [11] have reported the results of simulations for Ge 11.5 As 24 Se 64.5 combined with MgF 2 as a lower cladding and achieved the SCG from 1300 to 3300 nm with 1 cm long fibres. Finally, M. R. Karim et al [12] have reported some results with microstructured fibres and achieved the spectrum extending from 1.3 µm to beyond 11 µm.…”

Chalcogenide photonic crystal fiber for ultraflat mid-infrared supercontinuum generation

“…In 2014, Karim et al [21] reported numerically simulated results with five different nanowire structures with width ranges of 0.7 to 0.8 μm and achieved SCs up to 4.6 μm. In 2015, Sakunasinha et al [22] reported simulation results of the Ge 11.5 As 24 Se 64.5 material using MgF 2 for the lower cladding of the chalcogenide waveguide SCG, about 1.3 to 3.3 μm with a 1 cm length waveguide, and in 2015, Karim et al [18] showed an optimized waveguide using MgF 2 glass for its lower cladding and the SC spectrum extending in the wavelength range of 1.8 to 11 μm. In 2015, Karim et al [17] showed their results with MOFs and achieve SC spectrum from 1.3 μm to somewhere around 12 μm.…”
