摘要
The effect of dispersion fluctuations on the conversion efficiency of large frequency shift parametric sidebands is studied by numerical simulation and experiment. Numerical results based on periodic and random dispersion models are used to fit the experimental results. The fitting parameters provide a measure of the uniformity of the photonic crystal fiber used in the experiment. This allows us to place limits on the required uniformity of a photonic crystal fiber for strong frequency conversion. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America
