description

We present our latest results on the linear and nonlinear modeling, and on the fabrication of chalcogenide suspended core microstructured optical fibers for mid-infrared generation. We focus on an AsSe glass composition. We have used a thulium-doped fiber laser to pump our fibers around 2 µm. In order to enhance further the nonlinearities and to manage the chromatic dispersion for supercontinuum application, we have tapered some of our microstructured optical fibers.
