Study on propagation characteristics of femtosecond pulses in photonic crystal fibers
Supercontinuum broadening has important applications in optical communications.This article numerically investigates by the split-step Fourier method the propagation characteristics and the supercontinuum generation mechanism of femtosecond laser pulses in a Photonic Crystal Fiber(PCF) pumped in different dispersion regions.It is found that the dispersion and strong nonlinearity of the fiber greatly affect the transmission and evolution of the femtosecond pulses in PCF and the supercontinuum broadening.These conclusions are of some reference values to the study on the generation and applications of the supercontinuum.
