Engineering The Dispersion Of Tapered Fibers For Supercontinuum Generation With A 1064 Nm Pump Laser
No full textWe experimentally demonstrate dispersion tailoring of tapered fibers by immersing them in fluids. We obtain a 1200 nm wide supercontinuum in a train of two tapered fibers pumped by a low-cost diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser with a pulse width of 0.6 ns and an output power of 40 mW, where one tapered fiber is immersed in heavy water. To our knowledge, this is the widest spectrum ever generated with a system of such simplicity. © 2005 Optical Society of America.301519801982Wadsworth, W.J., Ortigosa-Blanch, A., Knight, J.C., Birks, T.A., Man, T.-P.M., Russell, P.S.J., (2002) J.

Simple Four-wave-mixing-based Method For Measuring The Ratio Between The Third- And Fourth-order Dispersion In Optical Fibers
No full textA simple four-wave-mixing (FWM)-based method for measuring the ratio between the third- and the fourth-order dispersion coefficients (β3/β4) in optical fibers is reported. The FWM interaction involves a low power laser and a low power amplified spontaneous emission noise source. The method is applied in several dispersion-shifted and non-zero-dispersion-shifted fibers with lengths varying from 0.03 to 25 km, and we have obtained an error of less than 3% in measuring β3/β4. In highly nonlinear fibers the error has presented a strong dependency with longitudinal variations of the zero-dispersion wavelength (λ0); an error less than 20% could be obtained in most of the tested fibers. Our method also allows for a fast estimation of the distribution of fluctuations of λ0 along the fiber. © 2007 Optical Society of America.24920462054Agrawal, G.P., (2003) Applications of Nonlinear Fiber Optics, , AcademicMarhic, M.E., Park, Y., Yang, F.S., Kazovsky, L.G., Broadband fiber optical parametric amplifiers and wavelength converters with low-ripple Chebyshev gain spectra (1996) Opt.
