AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates the dispersion properties and loss characteristics of kagome lattice hollow-core photonic crystal fibers filled with argon, focusing on their potential for ultrafast nonlinear optics applications.
  • The fibers demonstrate anomalous dispersion for visible and UV wavelengths, which can be regulated by gas pressure, and they maintain low loss levels.
  • The findings highlight that while the strut thickness impacts loss, the core size primarily controls group velocity dispersion, suggesting that these fibers could be effective in delivering high-energy ultrashort pulses for various advanced applications.

Article Abstract

Dispersion properties, loss and optimum design of kagome lattice hollow-core photonic crystal fibers filled with argon are studied for the purpose of possible applications in ultrafast nonlinear optics. As will be shown numerically and by using an approximate analytical formula these fibers exhibit anomalous dispersion for visible or UV wavelengths both for a 1-cell-core as well for a 3-ring-core which can be controlled by the gas pressure and do not suffer from high loss. It is shown that while the loss is mainly influenced by the strut thickness of the kagome lattice the group velocity dispersion is almost independently controlled by the core size. These results demonstrate that kagome lattice hollow fibers have a promising potential in ultrashort pulse delivering of high-energy pulses and in several interesting applications in ultrafast nonlinear optics.
