Abstract:
This research study proposes a unique photonic crystal fiber (PCF) consisting of a solid core and a hexa-spiral shape, using tellurite as the background material. The proposed PCF exhibits numerous significant optical guiding properties, such as nonlinearity, dispersion, effective index, effective mode area, etc. Simulated findings from COMSOL Multiphysics v5.5 confirm that the PCF can achieve high nonlinearity and zero-dispersion at 1650 nm. The base material is tellurite, which has a significant nonlinear refractive index (RI) of 5.11 × 10−19 m2 W−1. The resultant wave has a bandwidth of 562.65 nm when pumped at a wavelength of 1650 nm. Additionally, a continuum can be produced by pumping at 1500 and 1550 nm. The designed PCF can generate a broad spectrum of supercontinuum with a pulse duration of 200 fs and 10 kW input power. Here is also performed measurements and inspections on the impact of higher-order Taylor series dispersion coefficients, pulse width, input power, etc. The proposed PCF has many potential applications, including nonlinear optics, high dispersion characteristics, infinitely single-mode fibers, high wattage beam transmission, particle trapping, and sensing. To address these applications, here is used COMSOL Multiphysics to generate data, such as propagation constants, attenuations, effective area, and fields, which were used by Optisystem. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first investigation to verify the performance of our designed PCF in Optisystem, for modeling signal transmission for supercontinuum generation and Raman shift.
