Ultra-High Negative Dispersion Based Single Mode Highly Nonlinear Bored Core Photonic Crystal Fiber (HNL-BCPCF): Design and Numerical Analysis

Abstract

In this paper, two different models of highly nonlinear bored core photonic crystal fibers (HNL-BCPCF) are presented and compared for attaining an ultra-high negative dispersion coefficient and high nonlinearity. We achieved this dispersion by tailoring a defect into the solid core of the two proposed models and appropriately scaling down the diameter of the neighboring airholes of the core. To investigate the optical transmission properties in the fiber, simulations were carried out employing the finite element method (FEM) having a perfectly matched layer. The simulation results exhibited large negative dispersion coefficients of − 2218 ps/(nm-km) and − 2221 ps/(nm-km) for the two proposed models, respectively, when the wavelength had been tuned to 1550 nm and the corresponding nonlinear coefficients stand out to be 117.6 W −1 km −1 and 118.4 W −1 km −1. The fabrication process had been made much more feasible as the design consists of circular airholes. In our analysis, this geometry of photonic crystal fiber is noticeably more robust for its successful achievement of an ultra-high negative dispersion with high nonlinearity and facilitates optical back propagation applications and dispersion compensation for optical transmission systems.

Numerical analysis of photonic crystal fiber of ultra-high birefringence and high nonlinearity

“…It has also been demonstrated in 41 that nonlinearity of 26.67 W −1 km −1 can be achieved at a pump wavelength of 1.3 µm. Bored core PCF reported in 42 , achieved a nonlinearity of 118.4 W −1 km -−1 and a negative dispersion value of − 2221 ps/km.nm but the birefringence (B) was not discussed.…”

“…Fused silica is employed as the base material because of its low absorption loss as well as high mechanical strength. The Sellmeier's equation dictates the fused silica RI, [26]: The RI of gold can be calculated as [10]:…”

Investigation of coupling loss caused by misalignment in optical fiber

“…Its characteristics were largely studied after its initial invention in 1996 [15]. It has a wider range of wavelengths [16], a controllable dispersal property [17], and a larger mode for field diameter [18]. An optical fiber coupler can function as an optical switch, a WDM, and a power splitter.…”
