Linear and nonlinear performance analysis of specialty fibers.
Abstract
The Awardee’s proposed research aims to develop a customized optical performance testing system to study highly nonlinear specialty fibers and how variations in linear and nonlinear parameters, their dispersion profiles and environmental influences affect the nonlinear wavelength conversion processes. Variation in optical performance will be traced back to PCF fiber uniformity between different sections of the same drawn fiber (either adjacent or far apart), as well as between different types of PCFs (with a focus on PCFs with a zero-dispersion wavelength close to one micrometer). To optimize visible FWM sideband generation, several major studies will be conducted: higher order dispersion variation measurements and shot-to-shot spectral characterization of correlations associated with the FWM generation process.
