Abstract:
We present simulation results for supercontinuum generation using As(2)S(3) chalcogenide photonic crystal fibers. We found that more than 25% of input power can be shifted into the region between 3 microm and 5 microm using a pump wavelength of 2 microm with a peak power of 1 kW and an FWHM of 500 fs. The broad dispersion profile and high nonlinearity in As(2)S(3) chalcogenide glass are essential for this application.
