Abstract
In order to obtain supercontinuum (SC) spectra in the deep ultraviolet (UV) region, a generation method of UV SC is proposed based on subwavelength fiber (SWF) composed of background material MgF2. The nonlinear Schrödinger equation is solved by the split-step Fourier method, the optical fiber transmission characteristics are analyzed by the full-vector finite element, and the evolution of the pumping light into SC is numerically simulated in detail. The results of the numerical analysis show that the SC spectra have a spectral width extending from 229.11 nm to 2366.68 nm when 350 fs input pulses of 6 kW peak power, centered about λ0 = 400 nm, are launched into a 4 cm long MgF2 SWF. Such a deep UV SC spectrum has many applications, especially in telecommunication and military fields.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Optics publishes new experimental and theoretical research across all areas of pure and applied optics, both modern and classical. Research areas are categorised as:
Nanophotonics and plasmonics
Metamaterials and structured photonic materials
Quantum photonics
Biophotonics
Light-matter interactions
Nonlinear and ultrafast optics
Propagation, diffraction and scattering
Optical communication
Integrated optics
Photovoltaics and energy harvesting
We discourage incremental advances, purely numerical simulations without any validation, or research without a strong optics advance, e.g. computer algorithms applied to optical and imaging processes, equipment designs or material fabrication.
