Abstract

In this paper, we design a new nonlinear fiber by filling a highly nonlinear liquid into hollow-core photonic crystal fibers. The liquid-core photonic crystal fiber with carbon disulfide exhibits an extremely high nonlinear parameter γ which can be more than 20 times larger than that of a conventional PCF, which is desired for FOPA. By using Full Vector Finite Element Method (FEM) with hybrid edge/nodal elements and anisotropic perfectly matched layers we simulate the transverse intensity distribution, the nonlinear parameter γ, and the GVD of the fiber mode. Simulation shows such a PCF' structure has near-zero flattened dispersion and dispersion slope at the pump wavelength, which meet another crucial requirement for FOPA.
