Ultra-Broadly Tunable Light Sources Based on the Nonlinear Effects in Photonic Crystal Fibers

Meer over het boek

Focusing on nonlinear effects in photonic crystal fibers (PCFs), this thesis explores laser generation across the ultraviolet to mid-infrared spectrum. It investigates various physical mechanisms using custom-designed PCFs, emphasizing fiber optical parametric amplifiers (FOPAs) and oscillators (FOPOs) with a zero-dispersion wavelength around 1.06 micrometers. The work proposes solutions to enhance FOPO applications, optimizing wavelength-tuning and energy efficiency through innovative cavity designs, ultimately presenting a comprehensive guide to nonlinear wavelength generation in PCFs.
