In this paper, we propose a new type of optical waveguide called silicon nanowire embedded equai-angular spiral photonic crystal fiber (SN-SPCF) using fully vectorial finite element method, where closely arranged arrays of air holes act as cladding and nanosize silicon material at the centre acts as core. We show that the proposed nanowire embedded PCF of 400 nm core diameter exhibits high anomalous group velocity dispersion (-3148 ps2/km), small third order dispersion (-8.6591 ps3/km) and high nonlinearity (443.2 W-1m-1) at 1550 nm wavelength. Soliton-effect pulse compression of femtosecond pulses in a silicon nanowire-spiral photonic crystal fiber at 1550 nm is numerically studied. We demonstrate a pulse compression of 75 fs input pulse to about 4 fs by the simultaneous actions of both linear effects (a large anomalous group velocity dispersion and a small third order dispersion) and the nonlinear effect (an effective high nonlinearity).

AbstractIn this work, a dispersion compensating photonic crystal fiber (DC-PCF) is proposed in which dispersion, dispersion slope, second order dispersion, third order dispersion, nonlinearity, effective mode area, V parameter are investigated. The suggested structure is very effective for compensating of chromatic dispersion about −951 to −3075.10 ps/(nm.km) over 1340–1640 nm wavelength bandwidth. With perfectly matched layer boundary condition, guiding properties are inspected applying finite element method (FEM). The investigated results conform the opportunity of large negative dispersion and high group velocity dispersion (GVD) of −2367.10 ps/(nm.km) and 3018.55 ps2/km respectively, at 1550 nm operating wavelength. The offered fiber also shows low third order dispersion about −637.88 ps3/km, high nonlinearity of 91.11 W−1 km−1. From overall simulation results, it can be expected that the suggested PCF will be an effective candidate in high bit rate long haul optical communication system as well as sensing applications.
