A new type of supercontinuum generation in hexagonal lattice C6H6-core PCF with broadband and low-power pump
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MODERN PHYSICS B(2024)
Abstract
Most of the spectral bandwidths of previous publications are still limited by high input powers making them economically less than ideal. By using a benzene core (C6H6) photonic crystal fiber (PCF) as a new supercontinuum (SC) light source, it is possible to achieve a very large spectral broadening with hundreds of times lower peak power. Due to the change in the diameter of air holes in the first ring near the core, near-zero flattened dispersion, high nonlinearity and small attenuation can be achieved for spectral broadening. The structural geometries of two C6H6-PCFs are optimized to generate wide SC at low input energy. The SC spectrum produced in 1 cm long of all dispersion fiber extends from a part of visible light to the near-infrared range at 1.3 mu m wavelength and a small pulse energy of 18 pJ (or 450W of electrical input). The second PCF shows wide soliton-induced SC from 0.8 to 4.2 mu m with 71 pJ pulse energy (or input power approximately 790W) at 1.5 mu m wavelength within a fiber of 12 cm. The proposed structures have the potential to become a new class of microstructured optical fibers for low-cost, broadspectrum SC generation.
