Mid-IR soliton compression in silicon optical fibers and fiber tapers
Numerical simulations are used to investigate soliton compression in silicon core optical fibers at 2.3 µm in the mid-infrared waveguide regime. Compression in both standard silicon fibers and fiber tapers is compared to establish the relative compression ratios for a range of input pulse conditions. The results show that tapered fibers can be used to obtain higher levels of compression for moderate soliton orders and thus lower input powers.

Abstract

Numerical simulations are used to investigate soliton compression in silicon core optical fibers at 2.3 µm in the mid-infrared waveguide regime. Compression in both standard silicon fibers and fiber tapers is compared to establish the relative compression ratios for a range of input pulse conditions. The results show that tapered fibers can be used to obtain higher levels of compression for moderate soliton orders and thus lower input powers.
