A liquid crystal with a high electronic nonlinearity is chosen, which makes it possible to generate 100 nm wide supercontinua using IO ps pulses with peak power 1.5 kW in a 10 cm long waveguide. The possibility of tuning the spectrum of the generated Supercontinuum by changing the dispersion of the waveguide is also considered. It is found that the broadening of the spectrum in both the normal and anomalous regime is mainly due to self phase modulation, and therefore the dispersion of the waveguide is only of minor importance. The tuning of the dispersion is achieved by varying the temperature of the liquid crystal inside the capillary","PeriodicalId":208725,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks","volume":"198 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122583931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The discussion of results is based on three mechanisms of optical coupling between spherical cavities: (i) resonant coupling between WGMs in identical cavities, (ii) Fano resonance between a discrete energy state (true WGM excited in the source sphere) and a continuum of quasi-WGM states with distorted noncircular shape which can be induced in the receiving cavity, and (iii) photonic nanojet mechanism. For the case of identical cavities we present numerical modeling results demonstrating a good impedance matching, and a tunable nanosecond delay for propagating pulses. We experimentally studied optical coupling in size-mismatched bispheres with controllable inter-cavity separations, and showed the validity of mechanism based on Fano resonance. Finally, we observed photonic nanojets in extremely long chains of fluorescent microspheres with propagation losses less than 1 dB per sphere","PeriodicalId":208725,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116209267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
