Chapter 1Introduction

Zhang, Lei

Pages: 1 –17

[Lasers have attracted significant attentions since the first advent in 1960 due to their remarkable properties, such as monochromaticity, high coherence, good collimation, and high intensity. They have been widely used in a variety of fields, ranging from basic research to engineering...

Chapter 2New Wavelength Generation Based on PCF with Two Zero-Dispersion Wavelengths (TZDWs)

Zhang, Lei

Pages: 19 –39

[Since the PCF has flexible cladding structures, the simulation method for conventional optical fibers cannot be used for the evaluation of the PCF characteristics accurately. In recent years, several methods have been developed to improve the numerical precision, such as the plane wave expansion...

Chapter 3PCF-Based Optical Parametric Amplifier (OPA)

Zhang, Lei

Pages: 41 –58

[ The emergence of the optical amplification technology has accelerated the development of the optical communications. The lifestyle has been rapidly changed. Furthermore, the optical amplification technology has potential applications in the fields of high-power lasers, signal regeneration,...

Chapter 4Widely Tunable Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) Based on PCF

Zhang, Lei

Pages: 59 –79

[Not long after the laser was invented, optical nonlinearity was used to generate high-intensity radiation at new wavelength. In 1965, Wang and Racette discovered that new wavelength laser can be generated by two beams of light transmitted in a nonlinear crystal.]

Chapter 5PCF-Based OPO with High Energy Conversion Efficiency

Zhang, Lei

Pages: 81 –92

[The energy conversion efficiency is a critical factor for the practical application of the PCF-based OPO. As early as 1975, Stolen (IEEE J Quantum Electron 11(3): 100–103, 1975) demonstrated that the pump power can be effectively converted to the phase-matched signal and idler during the FWM...

Chapter 6Conclusion

Zhang, Lei

Pages: 93 –94

[This thesis is focused on the investigation of the widely tunable laser generation at novel wavelength bands through the nonlinear optical process in the photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). The PCF-based nonlinear effects of four-wave mixing (FWM), dispersive wave (DW) generation, and cross-phase...
