Properties of the enhanced nonlinearity in photonic crystal fiber （PCF） with a GeO2-doped core are investigated theoretically by using all-vector finite element method. Numerical result shows that the nonlinear coefficient of PCF is greatly enhanced with increasing doping concentration, furthermore, optimal radius of the doped region should be considered for the desired operating wavelength.展开更多

This design is suitable for flat broadband supercontinuum （SC） generation in the 1.55-μm region. The numerical results show that the nonlinear coefficient of the proposed eight-ring PCF is 33.8 W^-1·km^-1 at 1550 nm. Ultraflat dispersion with a value between -1.65 and -0.335 ps/（nm·km） is obtained ranging from 1375 to 1625 nm. The 3-dB bandwidth of the SC is 125 nm （1496-1621 nm）, with a fiber length of 80 m and a corresponding input peak power of 43.8 W. The amplitude noise is considered to be related to SC generation. For practical fabrication, the influence of the random imperfections of airhole diameters on dispersion and nonlinearity is discussed to verify the robustness of our design.展开更多

The generated SC spectra extend- ing from 450 to at least 2,400 nm have the salient feature of a short wavelength regime below the pump wavelength, which is much higher in intensity than the long-wavelength over the pump wavelength. The influence of pump power and repetition rates on SC generation （SCG） is explored. Results suggest that this pump source has both the advantages of short-pulse and continuous-wave pumps for SCG.展开更多

The surface morphology and optical properties were studied by SEM and UV-Vis-NIR. It was found that the high-quality silica colloidal photonic crystals were obtained from ethanol solutions with environment temperature between 45℃ and 55℃, humidity between 66% and 76%, the volume fraction of microspheres is between 0.8% and 1.5%. The ordered close-packed photonic crystal fabricated by controllable vertical deposition method had the two photonic bandgaps in the visible light band and near infrared band.展开更多
