Supercontinuum growth in a highly nonlinear fiber with a low-coherence semiconductor laser diode
A low-coherence, amplified, cw semiconductor laser diode is used as a pump to demonstrate supercontinuum (SC) generation in a highly nonlinear, dispersion-shifted fiber (HNLF). At a launch power of 1....

Modes of photonic crystal (PC) line-defect waveguides can have small group velocity away from the Brillouin zone edge. This property can be explained by the strong interaction of the modes with the bulk PC. An anticrossing of "index guided" and "gap guided" modes should be taken into account. To control dispersion, the anticrossing point can be shifted by the change of the PC waveguide parameters. An example of a waveguide is presented with vanishing second- and third-order dispersion. ©2004 American Institute of Physics
