Efficient Four-Wave Mixing in a Ultra-Highly Nonlinear Suspended-Core Chalcogenide Fiber
Résumé
We report a chalcogenide suspended-core fiber with a record Kerr-nonlinearity of 46 000 W-1km-1 and attenuation of 0.9 dB/m. Four-wave-mixing efficiencies of -5.6 dB at 10 GHz and -17.5 dB at 42.7 GHz are obtained.
