Abstract

We present a modified method to design photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) with flattened dispersion characteristic. Using this modified PCF we design a broadband fiber optical parametric amplifier (FOPA), which provides a gain of 8 dB with 1.5-dB uniformity over a 260-nm bandwidth. Both the simulation results of total dispersion of PCF and the gain spectrum of FOPA are demonstrated.
