Abstract

In this paper, we show experimentally that a pair of signal wave and idler wave bands is generated by four-wave mixing, and a pair of optical solitons and dispersion wave bands is induced by intrapulse Raman scattering and non-soliton radiation, and we also observe the power saturation phenomenon of the photonic crystal fiber (PCF) by using the incident femtosecond pulses in normal dispersion region away from the zero-dispersion wavelength of the PCF. The dispersion and nonlinear characteristics of the PCF are studied by the finite element method. The possible positions of the signal wave band and the idler wave band that is generated in the fiber satisfying the phase-matching condition are simulated by four-wave mixing phase matching, the results are in good agreement with the experimental results and show that even the pump laser pulse in the normal dispersion region can also produce the PCF four-wave mixing and optical solitons effects. In the present study it also revealed that the four-wave mixing experiment is generated by the fourth-order dispersion parameter β4, and the origins of optical solitons and dispersion wave bands generation are further explained.
