TLDR
In this paper, a solid core photonic quasi-crystal fiber (SC-PQF) was designed for a wide range of operating wavelengths from 0.3 to 5 μm.Abstract:
We design a solid-core photonic quasi-crystal fiber (SC-PQF) of 6-fold for a wide range of operating wavelengths from 0.3 to 5 μm. Further, we explore the various optical properties, namely, birefringence, group velocity dispersion, confinement loss and nonlinearity for the proposed SC-PQF. We achieve a low dispersion of −13 ps2/km and a high nonlinearity of 480 W−1km−1 for 0.3 μm wavelength. By exploiting these optical properties, we numerically demonstrate the generation of few-cycle optical pulses of pulse width 4.7 fs from 30 fs input pulse using the higher order soliton pulse compression technique.read more

Generation of a single-cycle optical pulse
TL;DR: The generation of a periodic optical waveform where the spectrum is sufficiently broad that the envelope is approximately a single-cycle in length is described, and the temporal shape of this envelope may be synthesized by varying the coefficients of a Fourier series.
