Perfluorocarbons: a material platform for tunable nonlinear frequency conversion in liquid filled suspended core fibers
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates supercontinuum generation in suspended core fibers filled with perfluorocarbons, highlighting their potential for ultrafast nonlinear frequency conversion. Spectroscopic absorption and refractive index dispersions are analyzed for three perfluorocarbons in the visible and near-infrared. Experiments show that the insertion of these liquids into suspended core fibers changes the dispersion landscape, enabling broadband soliton-based supercontinuum generation from 0.6 µm to 2.4 µm due to the creation of a confined domain of anomalous dispersion in the telecom range. In addition, temperature-dependent output spectrum modulation is demonstrated, highlighting the utility of the platform in photonic applications such as spectroscopy, sensing, and microscopy.
