Manipulating the Propagation of Solitons with Solid-Core Photonic Bandgap Fibers
Figure 11
(a) Measurement of the spectral broadening as a function of propagation distance in the solid-core PBG fiber 3. The white dashed line represents the PBG edge. (b) Measured spectra for a fiber length of 7 m (b1) and 2.5 m (b2). (c1 and c2) Samples of corresponding pulse train recorded after a 10 nm bandpass spectral filtering at 1550 nm (depicted by the purple region in (b)). (d1 and d2) Corresponding statistical distribution of the signal amplitude over 10,000 records. The signal amplitude is normalized to the average over the 10,000 pulses.
