Distortionless large-ratio stretcher for ultra-short pulses using photonic crystal fiber

A large-ratio stretcher for ultra-short pulses is proposed based on photonic crystal fiber (PCF). Through proper design of the PCF structure, we obtain over 300-nm wavelength range with flattened dispersion characteristics. Analysis indicates that 1-km of such fiber can broaden over 10,000 times for...

Summary:A large-ratio stretcher for ultra-short pulses is proposed based on photonic crystal fiber (PCF). Through proper design of the PCF structure, we obtain over 300-nm wavelength range with flattened dispersion characteristics. Analysis indicates that 1-km of such fiber can broaden over 10,000 times for ultra-short pulses with <100-fs pulse-width. Distortion due to dispersion and nonlinearity is negligible.
