Description:
We propound a realistic numerical model based on cascaded self-similar pulse compression to generate low pedestal ultrashort pulses at 2.5 µm. Self-similarity has been attained by modeling exponential dispersion decreasing and exponentially nonlinearity increasing chalcogenide photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). Initially, fundamental soliton compression in As2S3tapered PCF is investigated for the pedestal-free reduction of the pulse width. Subsequently, the compression factor is further enhanced in the As2Se3 PCF-based nonlinear optical loop mirror. Numerical outcomes reveal a compression of 1 ps pulse down to a pulse width of 16.6 fs with a peak power of 116 W in a total fiber length of L=61 cm.
