A Fully Vectorial Effective Index Method for Accurate Dispersion Calculation of Photonic Crystal Fibres

A fully vectorial effective index method is developed for accurate dispersion calculation of photonic crystal fibres （PCFs）. In order to improve the accuracy of the model, different values for the effective core radius are used when PCFs have different fibre parameters. The accuracy of our approach is demonstrated by comparing our results with other numerical and experimental results reported in literature. It is found that the accuracy of the fully vectorial effective index method is improved and our results agree well with accurate numerical results obtained by other methods as well as the previously reported experimental data.

利用微结构光纤作为非线性介质,实现了基于自相位调制(SPM)效应的全光再生.分析了脉冲峰值功率、脉冲宽度和滤波器参量对再生特性的影响,比较了具有正常色散和反常色散的2种微结构光纤的光再生效果.结果表明:采用具有正常色散或反常色散的微结构光纤均可以实现较好的光再生效果,但正常色散可以降低展宽频谱中的震荡结构,获得更好的传输函数;输入光纤的峰值功率必需达到一定的强度值,同时选择好滤波器的中心波长和滤波带宽才能得到满意的再生效果,通过优化这些参量将会获得更好的光再生效果.     

Flat Supercontinuum Generation at 1550 nm in a Dispersion-Flattened Microstructure Fibre Using Picosecond Pulse

The generation of a flat supercontinuum of over 80nm in the 1550nm region by injecting 1.6ps 10 GHz repetition rate optical pulses into an 80-m-long dispersion-flattened microstructure fibre is demonstrated. The fibre has small normal dispersion with a variation smaller than 1.5 （ps·nm^-1·km^-1） between 1500 and 1650nm. The generated supercontinuum ranging from 1513 to 1591 nm has the flatness of ±1.5 dB and it is not so flat in the range of several nanometres around the pump wavelength 1552nm. Numerical simulation is also used to study the effect of optical loss, fibre parameters and pumping conditions on supercontinuum generation in the dispersion-flattened microstructure fibre, and can be used for further optimization to generate flat broad spectra.     

A novel design for broadband dispersion compensation microstructure fiber

A novel microstructure fiber (MF) structure is proposed for broadband dispersion compensation. Through manipulating the four air-hole parameters and the pitch, the broad band dispersion compensation MF can be efficiently designed. The newly designed MF could compensate (to within 0.8%) the dispersion of 101 times of its length of standard single mode fiber over the entire 100-nm band centered on 1550 nm. The proposed design has been simulated through the finite difference beam propagation method, and the corresponding design procedures are also presented.

色散平坦渐减光纤中色散特性对超连续谱的影响

从频域全场方程出发研究了色散平坦渐减光纤中超连续谱(SC)的产生。结果表明,色散平坦渐减光纤的初始色散和色散斜率对超连续谱的产生有重要影响,当超连续谱宽度小于某一特定阈值时,谱宽随初始色散或色散斜率显著变化;而当超连续谱谱宽大于此值以后,谱宽随这两个参量的变化较缓慢。并且发现色散递减曲线为凸型的光纤比色散线性递减的光纤更有利于产生宽的超连续谱;而色散递减曲线为凹型的光纤不利于形成宽的超连续谱。计算表明经过优化选择光纤的色散参量,可以得到谱宽达330nm的超连续谱。
