NANOTECHNOLOGY 2023; 34:455201. [PMID: 37541221 DOI: 10.1088/1361-6528/aced56] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/06/2023]
Abstract
High-power laser delivery in the mid-infrared via hollow-core fibers is attractive, but it is too difficult to be fabricated using chalcogenide glasses. Here, we designed a mid-infrared hollow-core anti-resonant chalcogenide fiber (HC-ARCF) with a simplified Kagome cladding micro-structure for the first time. Then, the fiber was firstly fabricated through a precision mechanical drilling and pressured fiber drawing method. Ultra-thin walls of 2μm in the fiber lead to the fewest resonance peaks in the 2-5μm among all reported HC-ARCFs. All the fundamental mode, the second-order mode, tube mode and node mode in the fiber were excited and observed at 1550 nm. The power and spectral properties of the core and cladding of HC-ARCF are studied for the first time. The fiber can deliver high-power of 4.84 W without damage with core-coupling, while the threshold of the node in the cladding is only 3.5 W. A broadening of the output spectrum from 1.96 to 2.41μm due to the high nonlinearity at the node was successfully observed under short-pulse laser pumping at 2μm. The potentials of the fiber used for mid-infrared high-power laser delivery via core, or nonlinear laser generation via node, were thus demonstrated.

Abstract
Fiber gas sensing techniques have been applied for a wide range of industrial applications. In this paper, the basic fiber gas sensing principles and the development of different fibers have been introduced. In various specialty fibers, hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCFs) can overcome the fundamental limits of solid fibers and have attracted intense interest recently. Here, we focus on the review of HC-PCF gas sensing, including the light-guiding mechanisms of HC-PCFs, various sensing configurations, microfabrication approaches, and recent research advances including the mid-infrared gas sensors via hollow core anti-resonant fibers. This review gives a detailed and deep understanding of HC-PCF gas sensors and will promote more practical applications of HC-PCFs in the near future.

Development of Dispersion-Optimized Photonic Crystal Fibers Based on Heavy Metal Oxide Glasses for Broadband Infrared Supercontinuum Generation with Fiber Lasers.

[PMID: 30477259 PMCID: PMC6308463 DOI: 10.3390/s18124127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2018] [Revised: 11/20/2018] [Accepted: 11/22/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
In this work a photonic crystal fiber made of a heavy metal oxide glass with optimized dispersion profile is proposed for supercontinuum generation in a broad range of wavelengths in the near-infrared, when pumped by a mode-locked fiber-based laser. The fiber is modelled and optimal geometrical parameters are selected to achieve flat and low dispersion in the anomalous regime. Supercontinuum generation in the range of 0.76⁻2.40 µm, within the dynamics of 30 dB, when pumped at 1.56 µm with 400 fs⁻long pulses and an average power 660 mW is possible. The applicability of such fibers is also discussed.

Numerical study on supercontinuum generation by different optical modes in AsSe 2-As 2S 5 chalcogenide microstructured fiber. APPLIED OPTICS 2018; 57:382-390.

Abstract
We investigate supercontinuum generation (SCG) in AsSe2-As2S5 chalcogenide microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) pumped by different optical modes. The influence on SCG by different optical modes including the fundamental and high-order modes is analyzed numerically. The evolution of the supercontinuum (SC) is investigated by changing the pump wavelength (2120, 2580, and 3280 nm) and peak power (from 200 to 1000 W) of each optical mode (LP01,LP11,LP31) in the MOFs with different fiber lengths. SCG in MOFs with different core diameters is also simulated. The different optical modes cause the variation of the chromatic dispersion profile and the effective nonlinearity, which induces different mechanisms of the SCG and changes the spectral range. The maximum SC spectral range covers 12.931 μm from 1.389 to 14.320 μm when pumped by the LP11 mode with the peak power of 1000 W at 3280 nm. The simulated results will be instructive for the experimental SCG up to the midinfrared waveband longer than 10 μm.
