Recent advances in the development of holey optical fibers based on sulfide glasses
2006
International audience; Microstructured optical fibers as new optical objects have been developed in the recent past years, firstly from silica glass and then from other oxide glasses such as tellurite or different heavy cations oxide glasses. However very few results have been reported concerning non-oxide glasses and more particularly chalcogenide glasses. In a photonic crystal fiber the arrangement of air holes along the transverse section of the fiber around a solid glassy core leads to unique optical properties, such as for example broadband single-mode guidance, adjustable dispersion, nonlinear properties. Since the effective modal area is adjustable thanks to geometrical parameters, …
Chalcogenide Microstructured Fibers for Infrared Systems, Elaboration, Modelization, and Characterization
2009
special issue " Fiber Optic Research in France " (Part III of III); International audience; Chalcogenide fibers present numerous possible applications in the IR field. For many applications, single mode fibers must be obtained. An original way is the realization of microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) with solid core. These fibers present a broad range of optical properties thanks to the high number of freedom degrees of their geometrical structure. In this context, we have developed MOFs for near and mid IR transmission with different geometries and properties such as multimode or endless single-mode operation, small or large mode area fibers. We have also investigated numerically the mai…
Design of All-Normal Dispersion Microstructured Optical Fiber on Silica Platform for Generation of Pulse-Preserving Supercontinuum Under Excitation a…
2017
We investigated numerically the possibility of all normal dispersion fiber design for near-infrared supercontinuum generation based on a standard air-silica microstructure. The design procedure includes finding of target dispersion profile and subsequent finding of appropriate geometrical fiber design by inverse dispersion engineering. It was shown that the tailoring of dispersion profile could increase the spectral width of generated supercontinuum while maintaining perfect spectral flatness. Conditions necessary for wide and flat supercontinuum generation as well as restrictions imposed by chosen materials were discussed. As a result of design and optimization procedure, an air-silica des…
