Abstract
This study describes a wideband supercontinuum generation (SCG) in the mid-infrared range using a chalcogenide multi-material microstructured fiber design with significant non-linearity under optical communication. The fiber has a single core of As2Se3 and three rings of As2S5 rods arranged in hexagonal pattern in the AsSe2 cladding region. The reported PCF design has effective area and nonlinear coefficients as 59.4174 μm2 and 219.36 W−1 km−1 respectively at 5.3 μm pump wavelength. Additionally, it has a chromatic dispersion profile that is nearly zero and flattened over a large wavelength range of 5–15 µm, which is advantageous for broadband supercontinuum spectrum in the mid-infrared region. Specifically, with pulse width and pulse peak power of 200 fs and 10 kW, respectively, for a 100 mm fibre length, this research work illustrates the SCG that expands from 1000 nm to over 15,000 nm. These extremely nonlinear PCFs are robust contenders for applications that are nonlinear in nature, such as the generation of slow-light and supercontinuum.
