Effects of Core Diameter Variation on the Silicon Photonic Nanowire Soliton Effect Compressor

Abstract:

The influences of core diameter variation on silicon photonic nanowire soliton-effect femtosecond pulse compressor at 1550 nm have been numerically analyzed. It is shown that when the core diameter smaller than 355 nm, the compression factor increases and the quality factor and the optimum fiber length decreases with the increasing core diameter; when the core diameter larger than 355 nm, the core diameter has little effect on the optimum fiber length, but the compression factor decreases and the quality factor increases with the increasing core diameter.
