NL-1050-ZERO-2

Highly
Nonlinear

Nonlinear Photonic Crystal Fiber
• Small mode field area
• High nonlinear coefficient
• Flat near zero dispersion
Photonic crystal fibers use a microstructured cladding
region with air holes to guide light in a pure silica core,
giving rise to novel functionalities.
This highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber benefits from a
special core design to obtain a parabolic dispersion curve.
The fiber is available spliced to standard single mode fiber.

Applications
- Supercontinuum generation
- Optical parametric amplification
