Design of small core tellurite photonic crystal fiber for slow-light-based application using stimulated Brillouin scattering

Rim Cherif, Amine Ben Salem, Than Singh Saini, Ajeet Kumar, Ravindra Sinha, Mourad Zghal

OE, Vol. 54, Issue 07, 075101, (July 2015) https://doi.org/10.1117/12.10.1117/1.OE.54.7.075101

Read Abstract +

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) performances of small core tellurite photonic crystal fibers (PCF) are rigorously studied. We propose a design of tellurite PCF that is used for slow-light-based applications. We developed a two-dimensional finite element mode solver to numerically study the acoustic and optical properties of complex refractive index profiles including tellurite PCF. Our results include the calculation of Brillouin gain spectrum, Brillouin gain coefficient (gB) and Brillouin frequency shift by taking into account the contribution of the higher-order acoustic modes. Several simulations were run by varying the air-filling ratio of various PCF structures to enhance the SBS. The real scanning electron microscope image of a small core of highly nonlinear tellurite fiber is considered. Optimized results show a frequency shift of 8.43 GHz and a Brillouin gain of 9.48×10−11 m/W with a time delay between 21 and 140 ns. Such fibers have drawn much interest because of their capacity for increasing and tailoring the SBS gain.

Read Abstract +

An equiangular spiral (ES) photonic crystal fiber (PCF) design in tellurite glass has been presented. The structure parameters have been tailored for zero dispersion wavelength (ZDW) at λZDW=1570 nm. The fiber structure has high nonlinearity (γ = 2000 w^-1 Km^-1) at 1550 nm wavelength with very low and flat dispersion -0.152 [ps/(nm×km)]. We have generated supercontinuum using only 2 mm length of tellurite ES PCF with low input pulse energy of 200 pJ by pumping at 1550 nm. The proposed fiber may be a suitable candidate for nonlinear applications.

A single mode microstructured polymer optical fiber has been designed and analysed based on finite element method (FEM). The design parameters of proposed microstructured polymer optical fiber structure have been optimized to obtain single mode operation along with mode area of 895 μm². The differential loss between fundamental and higher order modes of structure have been obtained very large (~10³) with negligible loss of fundamental mode. The proposed structure is effectively single mode at 632.8 nm wavelength after the short distance 1.65 m with very low loss of guiding mode. The proposed structure is applicable for high power delivery devices.

A new design of the As2Se3 microfiber has been presented. With the optimized geometric parameters: pitch Λ= 0.8 μm and five different air filling ratios varying from 0.4 to 0.95, the structure exhibits an all normal dispersion with a flat top equal to -2.3 [ps/(nm.km)], a confinement loss less than 10^-2 dB/km, and a large nonlinear coefficient equal to 7250 (w. km)^-1. Using the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we generate a very broadband supercontinuum (SC) in the mid-infrared region. By pumping the fiber at λp=5.24 μm with a femtosecond laser having 50 fs as a width with a relatively low energy of E=80 pJ, we generate a large spectrum extending from 2 μm to 10 μm in only 2 mm fiber length. The generated SC demonstrates perfect coherence property over the entire bandwidth. SC generation extended into the mid-infrared (IR) spectral region have potential usefulness in a variety of applications requiring a broad mid-IR spectrum such as fiber sensing, IR spectroscopy, fiber laser, optical tomography coherence.

A novel design of single polarization single mode (SPSM) photonic nanowire is proposed. Using a cladding structure with circular air holes, a new design of a photonic nanowire with ultra-wideband range of 740 nm for SPSM operation is obtained. The numerical results show that the SPSM-nanowire is low-loss within the wavelengths ranging from 1.17 μm to 1.91 μm, the confinement loss of the slow-axis mode is less than 0.15 dB/km and the fast-axis mode is unguided. This fiber has greater advantages in polarization sensitive applications, such as fiber optic gyroscopes, fiber optic current sensors, high-power fiber lasers, and coherent optical communications.

Read Abstract +

We present a multi-trench channel waveguide design that supports a single-guided mode with large-mode area. Geometrically shaped waveguide with suitable design parameters ensure effective single-mode operation by introducing high leakage loss to higher-order modes while a nominal loss to the fundamental mode. A waveguide of ~ 2.2 mm length is able to ensure single-mode operation with the core area of 100 μm². Such a large confinement area for mode propagation can effectively suppress nonlinear optical effects. The proposed channel waveguide structure is expected to find applications in high power devices and components such as high power waveguide lasers, amplifiers and sensors.

Selectively filled large-mode-area photonic crystal fiber for high power applications

Than Saini, Ajeet Kumar, Vipul Rastogi, Ravindra Sinha

Proceedings Volume 8847, 88471Q (2013) https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2023472

KEYWORDS: Photonic crystal fibers, Refractive index, Cladding, Finite element methods, Photonic crystals, Surgery, Silica, High power fiber lasers, Sensors, Crystals

Read Abstract +

A large-mode-area (LMA) single-mode (SM) photonic crystal fiber (PCF) structure for applications in high power fiber lasers, amplifiers and sensors is proposed. In the proposed structure the center air hole has been removed to form the core and the six elliptical air holes of inner ring around the center core have been selectively filled with high refractive index material. Effects of design parameters on SM operation and mode area are numerically investigated by using the full vectorial finite-element method. Structure offers large-mode-area exceeding 835 μm² at 1.064 μm wavelength. A PCF with such a large-mode-area would significantly reduce the nonlinear effects and would be useful for high power applications.
