Proposal for Supercontinuum Generation by Optofluidic Infiltrated Photonic Crystal Fibers

Midinfrared supercontinuum generation via As_2Se_3 chalcogenide photonic crystal fibers

“…Another group achieved the planned spectral broadening by decreasing the PCF effective area via a tapering technique [13]. In the most recent report, the present group has demonstrated the possibility of generating 1.2 μm wide supercontinuum via dispersion engineering of a 250 mm long silica PCF, by means of selective optofluidic infiltration of the PCFs' air-holes as an alternative and reconfigurable post-fabrication approach that avoids any alteration in the PCF geometrical and structural parameters [14]. Unlike the first two approaches, the precise implementation of the optofluidic approach does not depend very much on the fabrication accuracy.…”

“…In recent years, a few research groups have demonstrated the possibility of generating supercontinuum spectra using silica-based PCFs [12][13][14]. They have been employed various means to broaden the generated supercontinuum spectra.…”

Synchronous optical sampling with chirped optical pulse based on high nonlinear spiral photonic crystal fiber

“…The nonlinear coefficients of the fundamental mode are as high as 224.36 W −1 m −1 and are 1.87 × 10 4 times as large as the one of the HNLF. [17][18][19] The spectra at the outputs of PCF 1 and PCF 2 are recorded as shown in Figs. 3(a) and 3(b) together with the eye diagrams of idler 1 and copy 1 (insets), respectively.…”

Ultra-Wide Mid-Infrared Supercontinuum Generation in As40Se60Chalcogenide Fibers: Solid Core PCF Versus SIF

“…Another group achieved the planned spectral broadening by decreasing the PCF effective area via tapering technique [10]. The present group has demonstrated the possibility of generating 1.2-μm supercontinuum via dispersion engineering of a 250-mm long silica PCF, by means of selective optofluidic infiltration of PCFs' air-holes as an alternative and reconfigurable post-fabrication approach that avoids any alteration in PCF geometrical and structural parameters [11,12]. In most studies, silica has been used as the PCFs' background material.…”
