Optical System — Photonic Crystal Fiber Supercontinuum Generation

a photonic crystal fiber supercontinuum generation schematic

Abstract Photonic crystal fiber (PCF) provides a unique platform for realizing the desired dispersion, birefringence, confinement, and mode multiplicity characteristics from a supercontinuum light source for myriad applications. This can be attributed to the freedom in designing the shape, size, and arrangement of holes and material composition of the PCF. Using the vector finite element…
