Light Propagation in Photonic Crystal Fibers

Abstract

We have investigated the linear and nonlinear optical properties of photonic crystal fibers. Our efforts have included: 1) the development of a dispersion characterization technique based on the use of femtosecond laser pulses and its application to microstructured and photonic band-gap fibers; 2) theoretical modeling of supercontinuum generation in small-core microstructured fibers; 3) effective delivery of femtosecond nanojoule pulses through meter-long lengths of large-core microstructured fiber.
