Fourth-order dispersion mediated solitonic radiations in HC-PCF cladding

Opt Lett. 2008 Nov 15;33(22):2680-2. doi: 10.1364/ol.33.002680.

Abstract

We observe experimentally, for the first time to our knowledge, the simultaneous emission of two strong conjugate resonant dispersive waves by optical solitons. The effect is observed in a small waveguiding glass feature within the cladding of a Kagome hollow-core photonic crystal fiber. We demonstrate theoretically that the phenomenon is attributed to the unusually high fourth-order dispersion coefficient of the waveguiding feature.
