Proposal of a novel analytical method for simultaneous ultra-broadband and ultrashort laser pulses generation in photonic crystal fibers with optimized manufacturing process

Abstract

In this paper, a novel method for simultaneous ultra-broadband and ultrashort femtosecond laser pulse generation in silica photonic crystal fibers is investigated analytically using the fully vectorial effective index method (FVEIM). By reducing the impact of fifth and lower-order dispersions, the method produces narrower laser pulses and wider supercontinuum using a fixed soliton order over a specific distance of the fiber. Additionally, the larger effective areas utilized in this approach make the manufacturing process simpler compared to other samples. These simultaneous features represent the primary innovations of this study.
