摘要
We report a chalcogenide suspended-core fiber with ultra-high nonlinearity and low attenuation loss. The glass composition is As38Se62. With a core diameter as small as 1.13 mu m, a record Kerr nonlinearity of 46 000 W(-1)km(-1) is demonstrated with attenuation loss of 0.9 dB/m. Four-wave mixing is experimented by using a 1m-long chalcogenide fiber for 10 GHz and 42.7 GHz signals. Four-wave mixing efficiencies of - 5.6 dB at 10 GHz and -17.5 dB at 42.7 GHz are obtained. We also observed higher orders of four-wave mixing for both repetition rates. (C) 2011 Optical Society of America
