Generation of 2.5 μm and 4.6 μm Dispersive Waves in Kagome Photonic Crystal Fiber with Plasma Production ^*

Abstract

We report our numerical simulation on dispersive waves (DWs) generated in the Kr-filled Kagome hollow-core photonic crystal fiber, by deploying the unidirectional pulse propagation equation. Relatively strong dispersive waves are simultaneously generated at 2.5 μm and 4.6 μm. It is deciphered that the interplay between plasma currents due to Kr ionization and nonlinear effects plays a key role in DW generation. Remarkably, this kind of DW generation is corroborated by the plasma-corrected phase-matching condition.
