A New Design of Photonic Crystal Fiber with Fattened Dispersion and Low Effective Mode Area

Article Preview

Abstract:

We propose a novel type of photonic crystal fiber with low fattened dispersion and high nonlinearity for four wave mixing. The dispersion and nonlinearity coefficient are investigated simultaneously by using the full vectorial finite element method with anisotropic perfectly matched layers. The optimized result has been obtained by adjusting the design parameter of the proposed fiber, which has dispersion is -1.53 ps•nm−1 km−1 at wavelength of 1.55μm, and in addition the relatively small effective mode area of 2.23μm2 is obtained at the same wavelength, which will induce higher nonlinearity coefficient is close 54.8 W-1• km-1 at the wavelength of 1.55μm. The proposed PCF is suitable for applications as a chromatic dispersion controller, dispersion compensator, or as candidate for the nonlinear optical systems because of its small effective mode area.
