▪ Abstract The development of microstructured optical fibers has led to the realization of
many optical properties in fiber form that were not previously attainable. This chapter …

The dispersion properties of large-hole photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) are tailored by
changing the diameter of the air-holes belonging to the first three rings, in order to obtain …

From basic physics to new products, Silica Optical Fiber Technology for Device and
Components examines all aspects of specialty optical fibers. Moreover, the inclusion of the …

Polarization-insensitive widely tunable wavelength conversion has been demonstrated
using four-wave mixing in a 64-m-long dispersion-flattened nonlinear photonic crystal fiber …

Graphene was the first two dimension (2D) material demonstrated as temporal modulator in
fiber laser system more than a decade ago. Following its success, other types of 2D …

Small-core holey fibers (HFs) can offer tight mode confinement, and are, therefore, attractive
for highly nonlinear fiber applications. However, we show here that confinement loss can …

We demonstrate a spectrally sliced pulse source which utilizes supercontinuum generated
in a normally dispersive holey fiber and spectral slicing in an arrayed waveguide grating. All …

Highly nonlinear dispersion-flattened fibres with dispersion slope of 0.0002 ps/nm^ sup
2^/km and A^ sub eff^ of 16.5 μm^ sup 2^ have successfully been fabricated. The quasi …

In this work, we explore the fiber optical parametric amplifiers (FOPAs) gain and bandwidth
spectra of near-zero ultra-flattened photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) around the communication …

Conclusions: We have demonstrated, for the first time, a microstructure-fibre-based optical
parametric amplifier in the 1550 nm telecom band with a record gain slope of 203dB/W/km …
