Manipulating the Propagation of Solitons with Solid-Core Photonic Bandgap Fibers

Figure 12

(a) Simulation of the spectral broadening as a function of propagation distance in the solid-core PBG fiber 3 (averaged over 200 simulation shots). The white dashed line represents the PBG edge. (b) Simulated averaged spectra for fiber lengths of 7 m (b1) and 2.5 m (b2). (c1 and c2) Samples of corresponding pulse train after spectral filtering at 1562 nm (depicted by the purple region in (b)). (d1 and d2) Corresponding histograms over 200 pulses at 1562 nm, where the power is normalized to its average over the 200 shots.
