Abstract

We numerically investigate the evolution of Airy-Gaussian (AiG) pulses in photonic crystal fiber with two zero-dispersion wavelengths. Firstly, in the absence of higher-order nonlinear effects, the effects of three essential parameters of AiG pulses (truncation coefficient, distribution factor, and initial chirp) on the pulse evolution are studied in detail. The results indicate that initial AiG pump pulses with a small truncation coefficient, small distribution factor, and positive chirp are beneficial for obtaining a wider supercontinuum spectrum. Moreover, we further take stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and self-steepening (SS) effects into account, and find that SRS greatly broadens the output spectrum when AiG pulses with a small distribution factor (χ0 = 0.1), however, it also leads to obvious spectrum collapse and the collapse will be reduced to a certain extent due to SS.
