The dependences of continuum on the pump power and wavelength are investigated. With the pump working at 820 nm, when the pump power increases froul 300 to 500 mW, the bandwidths of ultraviolet and mid-infrared continua change from 80 to 140 nm and 100 to 200 nm, respectively. The wavelength of ultraviolet continuum is below 246 nm, and the wavelength of mid-infrared continuum exceeds 2500 nm. Moreover, the influences of pump power on wavelength and conversion efficiency of different parts of continua are also demonstrated.展开更多

The dualcore photonic crystal fiber （PCF） consists of two asymmetric cores. The high polarization property and the coupling characteristics have been studied by using the finite dement method and mode coupling theory. Numerical results show that the birefringence at wavelength λ = 10 μm is up to 0.01386 and the coupling length can reach wavelength = 5 μm, 261 μm and 271.44 μm for x-polarized mode and y-polarized mode, respectively. It demonstrates that a 6.786-ram-long fiber can exhibit an extinction ratio of better than -10 dB and a bandwidth of 180 nm.展开更多

Both the two-dimensional photonic crystal slab and the one-dimensional nanobeam structures are fabricated using direct focused ion beam etching and subsequent wet chemical etching. The scanning electron microscopy images show the uniformity and homogeneity of the cylindrical air holes. The optical measurement in the near-infrared region is implemented using the tapered fiber coupling method, and the results agree with the numerical calculations by using the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method.展开更多
