All-fibered high-quality 1.5–2 THz femtosecond pulse sources
Generation of high-quality ultra-high repetition rate optical pulse trains around 1.55µm has become increasingly interesting for many scientific applications such as optical sampling, ultra-high capacity transmission systems, component testing or nonlinear phenomena studies. Unfortunately, the current bandwidth limitations of optoelectronic devices do not enable the direct generation of pulses with repetition rate higher than 80GHz and a temporal width below a few ps.
Ultra Highly Nonlinear AsSe Chalcogenide Holey Fiber for Nonlinear Applications
oral session 10.1: " Glasses for Nonlinear Processes and Amplification "; International audience; We report the characterizations of an AsSe chalcogenide holey fiber including loss, dispersion, effective area and nonlinear coefficient. The fiber exhibits a record Kerr nonlinearity of 15000 W-1km-1, which allows great potential for nonlinear applications.
