Abstract

This paper presents the design of a W-type index chalcogenide fiber for mid-infrared beyond 10 μm. The main advantages of the W-type index fiber are the possibility to control the chromatic dispersion with a larger possible core area for single-mode operation compared to a common step-index fiber and to enhance the fiber nonlinearity. Our fiber design consists of Ge15Sb15Se70 glass core, Ge20Se80 glass inner cladding, and Ge20Sb5Se75 glass outer cladding. The optical mode distribution of the chalcogenide fiber is numerically calculated by a finite element method based on edge element analysis. With 6-μm core diameter and 12-μm inner cladding diameter, the proposed fiber design exhibits flat anomalous dispersion in the wavelength range (4.3–6.5 μm) with a peak of about 7 ps/(nm·km). Also, it offers a high nonlinear coefficient of 0.12 W−1m−1 at a pump wavelength of 6.3 μm. The simulation results show that our proposed fiber design provides a highly coherent Mid-IR SC extending from 3.7 to 12 μm pumped at low peak pump power of 1 kW.
