Highly nonlinear tellurite microstructured fibers for broadband wavelength conversion and flattened supercontinuum generation

We demonstrate four-wave mixing-based broadband ( > 68   nm ) wavelength conversion and flattened supercontinuum generation spanning from 900 to 2800 nm in a 36-cm-long tellurite microstructured fiber which has a high nonlinearity. By reducing the size of air holes of the tellurite microstructure...

Description
Summary:We demonstrate four-wave mixing-based broadband ( > 68   nm ) wavelength conversion and flattened supercontinuum generation spanning from 900 to 2800 nm in a 36-cm-long tellurite microstructured fiber which has a high nonlinearity. By reducing the size of air holes of the tellurite microstructured fibers, single mode propagation and small dispersion slope are obtained without the propagation loss enhancement. Our results show that chromatic-dispersion controlled tellurite microstructured fibers are promising candidates for nonlinear applications.
