Abstract
AbstractThe parabolic pulse (PP) generation within an optical fiber occurs in the presence of gain. The required amount of gain can be supplied either physically or virtually by suitably tapering the core radius throughout the length of the fiber. Regarding PP generation, designing a dispersion increasing fiber (DIF) is undesirable as it introduces negative gain within the fiber. In this work, we have developed a special kind of a dispersion increasing chalcogenide fiber (DICF) where the nonlinearity-induced virtual gain plays the dominant function. In spite of the role of dispersion in reducing the effective gain, an efficient PP is generated in a sufficiently shorter fiber length without supplying any physical gain due to the much more substantial contribution from the nonlinearity of the fiber.KeywordsParabolic pulse (PP)Virtual gainDispersion increasing fiber (DIF)Normal dispersion chalcogenide fiber (NDCF)
