Abstract:
Supercontinuum can be generated by pumping a short pulse to a highly nonlinearity medium. The famous medium is Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF). Also, the various properties of the input pulse are effect to Supercontinumm. In this research, a slowly evolving wave approximation (SEWA), used for the ultra short pulses, is applied to predict the results of the ultra short pulses propagating through PCF having two zer0-dispersion-wavelength (ZDW) at 751 nm and 1230 nm. By comparing with the one of a slowly varying envelope approximation (SVEA), suiting with the wide short pulses, the results from SVEA is closed to the experimental results in 50fs input pulse width. In contrast, the results from SWEA is closed to the evolution of soliton, approximated as the ultra short pulse in the experiment, in 10fs input pulse width. By using the SEWA with various center-wavelengths of 10 fs width input pulses, the spectrum is expanded from 500 nm to more than 2000 nm. By comparing the results of 5-fs and 10-fs pulse widths, the broadening of spectrum for both cases are nearly the same in both 780-nm and 1200-nm center wavelengths of input pulse. However, the intensity and fluctuation of soliton in trailing edge for 1200-nm width pulses increase. Finally, the results of 50-kW, 100-kW, and 200-kW peak-power input pulses are compared. In this case, the noise in spectrum increase since the peak-power increase even the broadening spectrum in every cases are nearly the same.
