The simulated results show that the first higher order mode possesses two zero-dispersion wavelengths, and the phase-matching is possible in the anomalous dispersion regime between the two zero-dispersion wavelengths. Using 200 fs Ti： sapphire laser of 820, 830 and 840nm, the anti-Stokes line around 530nm can be generated efficiently. The maximum ratio of the anti-Stokes signal energy to the pump component in the output spectrum is estimated to be 1.03 and the conversion efficiency is above 50%.展开更多

The sensor with high sensitivity and a robust structure is fabricated by splicing a short photonic crystal fiber（PCF） between two single-mode fibers, where two microcavities are formed at both junctions because of the collapse of the PCF air holes. The microcavity with a larger equatorial dimension can excite higher-order cladding modes, so the sensor presents a high RI sensitivity, which can reach 244.16 nm/RIU in the RI range of1.333–1.3778. Meanwhile it has a low temperature sensitivity of 0.005 nm/°C in the range of 33°C–360°C.展开更多

By using the air filling fraction f defined as f = （ 6d） / （ 2π∧ ） here for the cladding effective index, and the step effective index model, the relationship between the properties of chromatic dispersion and the two different structures has been analysed. It is pointed that the variation of the zero dispersion wavelength is insensitive to the core diameter change in one range of core diameter D, while keeping the air filling fraction f constant. In the other range of core diameter D, the photonic crystal fibres have the best nearly-zero ultraflattened dispersion. These properties are significant to the design of chromatic dispersion and zero dispersion wavelength in photonic crystal fibres.展开更多

In this paper, a high power highly nonlinear holey fiber(HN-HF) with a low confinement loss is proposed for supercontinuum light sources. The finite difference method is used to calculate the different properties of the proposed HN-HF. High nonlinear coefficients are obtained at 1.06 μm, 1.31μm, and 1.55μm wavelengths with flattened chromatic dispersion and low confinement losses simultaneously. Moreover, numerical simulation results show that high power broad supercontinuum spectra with very short length of the proposed photonic crystal fiber are achieved.展开更多
