Photonic crystal fibers use a microstructured cladding region with air holes to guide light in a pure silica core, giving rise to novel functionalities.
This single mode nonlinear photonic crystal fiber combines a very small effective mode field area (2 μm2 ) and zero dispersion (around 750 nm) to allow efficient supercontinuum generation with 800 nm pump sources. Furthermore the fiber is polarization maintaining for increased efficiency.
The fiber is available with hermetically sealed ends and FC/PC connectors. It could also be spliced to standard single mode fiber or large mode area PCF.
・Small mode field area
・High nonlinear coefficient
・Zero dispersion in visible wavelength range
