Research on four wave mixing performance near communication window and mid infrared region

Abstract

The four wave mixing (FWM) characteristics of highly nonlinear tellurite photonic crystal fiber are simulated. The material of tellurite fiber is TeO2-Li2O-ZnO-P2O5 (TLZP). It is calculated that there are two zero dispersion points at 1590 nm and 3880 nm in tellurite photonic crystal fiber. The linear phase mismatch, the variation of optical signal gain with fiber length and the pump power are calculated at 1538 nm and 3865 nm respectively. The results show that the fiber has good four wave mixing performance near 1550 nm communication window and mid infrared region.
