Abstract
milan米兰体育官网入口 (HNLF) is a key component holding great promise in applications in the all-optical signal processing devices, broadband light sources,pulse compressors etc., which are essential to high-speed transmission systems.Improvements in HNLF functionality have been realized in recent years, but there is a need for more compact modules when these fibers are to be accommodated.
In this paper we provide a theoretical discussion of the limits of reducing cladding diameter using the finite element method (FEM), milan米兰体育官网入口 fabricated fiber with a cladding diameter of 51µm. This fiber shows satisfactory characteristics in tests for mechanical strength and environment performance, and delivers ample reliability while fitting into coin-sized modules. Using prototype ultra-compact modules that we fabricated, we carried out supercontinuum (SC) light generation tests milan米兰体育官网入口 confirmed satisfactory characteristics.
