Influences of higher order effects on supercontinuum generation in microstructured optical fiber
The nonlinear generalized Schr?dinger equation is applied to describe the propagation of femtosecond laser pulses and supercontinuum generation in a microstructured optical fiber, and solved by using the split-step Fourier method. And the role of self-steepening, intra-pulse stimulated Raman scattering(SRS) and third-order dispersion are discussed adequately. The numerical results show that solition self-frequency shift is generated in a microstructured optical fiber. It is also found that intrapulse stimulated Raman scattering and self-phase modulation result in spectral broadening based on the fission of higher order solitions, and two lagging solitions occur in the time domain. The third-order dispersion and self-steepening influence on the shape of spectrum little, having the opposite effects with SRS. Self-steepening has relatively bigger influence on the ultra-short laser pulse than the third-order dispersion.
