Abstract

Based on a suspended core birefringent tellurite microstructured optical fiber (BTMOF), the supercontinuum (SC) spectra are generated by pumping near the zero dispersion wavelengths (ZDWs) in the telecommunication band with a tunable picosecond fiber laser. The ZDWs of the suspended core BTMOF are calculated to be 1560 nm and 1532 nm for the X-axis and Y-axis, respectively. When the pump is polarized along the X-axis, the SC broadening is governed by the nonlinear effects of four-wave mixing (FWM), cross-phase modulation (XPM) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS). When the pump is polarized along the Y-axis, the SC generation is governed by the nonlinear effects of SRS.
