Abstract

A hexagonal solid-core bismuth-oxide micro-structure fiber is developed to balance its dispersion and nonlinearity. This simulation and calculation results show that the bismuth-oxide photonic crystal fiber (Bi-PCF) has near zero dispersion around 1550 nm. Its dispersion slop in the communication wavelength range is also relatively flat. Moreover, both nonlinear coefficient and model field distribution are obtained. Compared with the experimental results by SiO2-PCF, it can be seen that the Bi-PCF shows excellent characteristics for the optical parametric amplification (OPA).
