Visible Light Generation and its Influence on Supercontinuum in Chalcogenide As2S3 Microstructured Optical Fiber

We demonstrate visible light generation in chalcogenide As2S3 microstructured optical fiber. The generated visible light causes irreversible damage to the fiber core because of the high absorption coefficient of chalcogenide glasses in the visible band. The SCs (supercontinua) are measured in both untapered and tapered As2S3 fibers, no wider SC is obtained in the tapered one. The SC growth is prevented by the visible light generation since the damage to the fiber core decreases the fiber transmission substantially. This effect can be avoided by designing the fiber to enable the pump source to work in single-mode operation.

Recent developments in chalcogenide photonic crystal fibres

Elaboration of low-losses highly non linear chalcogenide optical fibers for the generation of efficient non linear effects in the infrared remains a challenge. In recent years, much work has been devoted to the study of microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) with different designs and various elaboration processes. Their background losses were typically of several dB/m.

Visible Light Generation and Its Influence to Supercontinuum in As2S3 Microstructured Fiber

We demonstrate visible light generation in As 2 S 3 microstructured fiber for the first time. It limits the spectral range of supercontinuum. The visible light generation can be avoided by designing the fiber for the single-mode operation.

Chalcogenide microstructured optical fibers : from linear to nonlinear properties

International audience; In this talk, we review the linear properties of chalcogenide microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) of several types. We mainly focus our talk on mid-infrared applications of such fibers. We start with the general properties of solid core MOFs made of these high index glasses and compare them with the ones of silica. Then, we give some details concerning a solid core MOF made of TAS glass. Next, we describe the first guiding suspended chalcogenide MOF and explain how it was designed for supercontinuum generation in the mid-infrared. Both linear and nonlinear properties of As2S3 suspended core MOFs are also numerically studied. In the next part, We describe the design…

Suspended core tellurite glass optical fibers for infrared supercontinuum generation

International audience; We report the fabrication and characterization of tellurite TeO(2)-ZnO-Na(2)O (TZN) microstructured suspended core optical fibers (MOFs). These fibers are designed for infrared supercontinuum generation with zero dispersion wavelength (ZDW) at 1.451 mu m. The measured losses at this wavelength are approximately 6 dB/m for a MOF with a 2.2 mu m diameter core. The effective area of a particular fiber is 3.5 mu m(2) and the nonlinear coefficient is calculated to be 437 W(-1)km(-1). By pumping a 20 cm long fiber at 1.56 mu m with a sub-nj femtosecond laser source, we generate a supercontinuum (SC) spanning over 800 nm in the 1-2 mu m wavelength range.
