Nonlinear interaction between two different photonic bandgaps of a hybrid photonic crystal fiber

Abstract

Nonlinear interaction between spectral components in two different photonic bandgaps is experimentally demonstrated by launching femtosecond pulses near a zero-dispersion wavelength of a hybrid photonic crystal fiber, which guides by a combination of total internal reflection and bandgap effects. It is demonstrated that the initial pulse becomes spectrally broadened, and narrowband resonant radiation is generated in a different bandgap from the one responsible for guiding at the pump wavelength. The spectral intensity of the resonant radiation peaks at $2.7\mathrm{dB}$ below that of the broadened pulse in the pump-guiding bandgap.
