Designing the properties of dispersion-flattened photonic crystal fibers.

Albert Ferrando; Enrique Silvestre; Pedro Andrés; Juan J. Miret; Miguel V. Andrés

We present a systematic study of group-velocity-dispersion properties in photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). This analysis includes a thorough description of the dependence of the fiber geometrical dispersion on the structural parameters of a PCF. The interplay between material dispersion and geometrical dispersion allows us to established a well-defined procedure to design specific predetermined dispersion profiles. We focus on flattened, or even ultraflattened, dispersion behaviors both in the telecommunication window (around 1.55 microm) and in the Ti-Za laser wavelength range (around 0.8 microm}. We show the different possibilities of obtaining normal, anomalous, and zero dispersion curves in the above frequency domains and discuss the limits for the existence of the above dispersion profiles.

Nearly zero ultraflattened dispersion in photonic crystal fibers

Albert Ferrando; Enrique Silvestre; Juan J. Miret; Pedro Andrés

We present a procedure for achieving photonic crystal fibers with nearly zero ultraflattened group-velocity dispersion. Systematic knowledge of the special guiding properties of these fibers permits the achievement of qualitatively novel dispersion curves. Unlike the behavior of conventional fibers, this new type of dispersion behavior permits remarkably improved suppression of third-order dispersion, particularly in the low-dispersion domain.

Full-vector analysis of a realistic photonic crystal fiber

Albert Ferrando; Enrique Silvestre; Juan J. Miret; Pedro Andrés; Miguel V. Andrés

We analyze the guiding problem in a realistic photonic crystal fiber, using a novel full-vector modal technique. This is a biorthogonal modal method based on the non-self-adjoint character of the electromagnetic propagation in a fiber. Dispersion curves of guided modes for different fiber structural paremeters are calculated, along with the two-dimensional transverse intensity distribution of the fundamental mode. Our results match those achieved in recent experiments in which the feasibility of this type of fiber was shown.

Vector description of higher-order modes in photonic crystal fibers

Albert Ferrando; Enrique Silvestre; Juan J. Miret; Pedro Andrés; Miguel V. Andrés

We extensively study the propagation features of higher-order modes in a photonic crystal fiber (PCF). Our analysis is based on a full-vector modal technique specially adapted to accurately describe light propagation in PCFs. Unlike conventional fibers, PCFs exhibit a somewhat unusual mechanism for the generation of higher-order modes. Accordingly, PCFs are characterized by the constancy of the number of modes below a wavelength threshold. An explicit verification of this property is given through a complete analysis of the dispersion relations of higher-order modes in terms of the structural parameters of this kind of fiber. The transverse irradiance distributions for some of these higher-order modes are also presented, showing an excellent agreement with recent experimental measurements. In the same way, the full-vector nature of our approach allows us to analyze the rich polarization structure of the PCF mode spectrum.

Biorthonormal-basis method for the vector description of optical-fiber modes

Enrique Silvestre; Miguel V. Andrés; Pedro Andrés

This paper gives the theoretical basis for the development of real vector modal methods to describe optical-fiber modes. To this end, the vector wave equations, which determine the electromagnetic fields, are written in terms of a pair of linear, nonself-adjoint operators, whose eigenvectors satisfy biorthogonality relations. The key of our method is to obtain a matrix representation of the vector wave equations in a basis that is defined by the modes of an auxiliary system. Our proposed technique can be applied to fibers with any profile, even those with a complex refractive index. An example is discussed to illustrate our approach.

Ultrahigh-birefringent squeezed lattice photonic crystal fiber with rotated elliptical air holes

Felipe Beltran-Mejia; Giancarlo Chesini; Enrique Silvestre; A. K. George; Jonathan C. Knight; Cristiano M. B. Cordeiro

We report an experimental realization of a highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber as a result of compressing a regular hexagonal structure. The experimental measurements estimate a group birefringence of approximately 5.5x10(-3) at 1550 nm in good agreement with the numerical results. We study the influence of compressing the regular structure at different directions and magnifications, obtaining a method to realistically enhance the phase birefringence while moderating the group birefringence.

Cantor-like fractal photonic crystal waveguides

Juan A. Monsoriu; Carlos J. Zapata-Rodríguez; Enrique Silvestre; Walter D. Furlan

Abstract We propose a new class of one-dimensional (1D) photonic waveguides: the fractal photonic crystal waveguides (FPCWs). These structures are photonic crystal waveguides (PCWs) etched with fratal distribution of grooves such as Cantor bars. The transmission properties of the FPCWs are investigated and compared with those of the conventional 1D PCWs. It is shown that the FPCW transmission spectrum has self-similarity properties associated with the fractal distribution of grooves. Furthermore, FPCWs exhibit sharp localized transmissions peaks that are approximately equidistant inside the photonic band gap.

Space-time analogy for partially coherent plane-wave-type pulses.

Jesús Lancis; Víctor Torres-Company; Enrique Silvestre; Pedro Andrés

In this Letter we extend the well-known space-time duality to partially coherent wave fields and, as a limit case, to incoherent sources. We show that there is a general analogy between the paraxial diffraction of quasi-monochromatic beams of limited spatial coherence and the temporal distortion of partially coherent plane-wave pulses in parabolic dispersive media. Next, coherence-dependent effects in the propagation of Gaussian Schell-model pulses are retrieved from that of their spatial counterpart, the Gaussian Schell-model beam. Finally, the last result allows us to present a source linewidth analysis in an optical fiber communication system operating around the 1.55 microm wavelength window.

Zero permeability and zero permittivity band gaps in 1D metamaterial photonic crystals

Ricardo A. Depine; María L. Martínez-Ricci; Juan A. Monsoriu; Enrique Silvestre; Pedro Andrés

Abstract We consider layered heterostructures combining ordinary positive index materials and dispersive metamaterials. We show that these structures can exhibit a new type of photonic gap around frequencies where either the magnetic permeability μ or the electric permittivity ϵ of the metamaterial is zero. Although the interface of a semi-infinite medium with zero refractive index (a condition attained either when μ = 0 or when ϵ = 0 ) is known to give full reflectivity for all incident polarizations, here we show that a gap corresponding to μ = 0 occurs only for TE polarized waves, whereas a gap corresponding to ϵ = 0 occurs only for TM polarized waves. These band gaps are scale-length invariant and very robust against disorder, although they may disappear for the particular case of propagation along the stratification direction.

Effective Fresnel-number concept for evaluating the relative focal shift in focused beams

Manuel Martínez-Corral; Carlos J. Zapata-Rodríguez; Pedro Andrés; Enrique Silvestre

We report on an analytical formulation, based on the concept of effective Fresnel number, to evaluate in a simple way the relative focal shift of rotationally nonsymmetric scalar fields that have geometrical focus and moderate Fresnel number. To illustrate our approach, certain previously known results and also some new focusing setups are analytically examined.
