Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate the supercontinuum generation in a silicon nanowire embedded photonic crystal fiber (SN-PCF) using fully-vectorial finite element method. The variation of supercontinuum is investigated by changing the fiber length, pump peak power and pump wavelength. The proposed fiber exhibits broad spectrum of more than 2200 nm within 2 mm length of fiber for peak power of 500 W of input pulse.
