Supercontinuum generation at 1.55 μm in As2S3 core photonic crystal fiber
Abstract:
This paper proposes a design and mathematical study of As2S3 chalcogenide photonic crystal fiber (PCF) for broadband supercontinuum generation. The proposed design offers a large nonlinearity coefficient and ultra-flattened dispersion. The proposed design was analyzed using the full-vectorial finite element method. Through this method, it is shown that an ultra-broad supercontinuum spectrum of 0.8-4.5 μm is attained using an As2S3 core PCF design with 20 fs pump pulse width and a length of 10 mm, having 3 kW power at a -40 dB spectral and temporal intensity. The proposed octagonal PCF has shown a low zero dispersion wavelength at the pump wavelength of 1.55 μm.

The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
