Analysis of Cascaded Soliton Spectral Tunneling Effect in Segmented Fibers With Engineered Dispersion

Analysis of Cascaded Soliton Spectral Tunneling Effect in Segmented Fibers With Engineered Dispersion

The cascaded soliton spectral tunneling (SST) effect is proposed and numerically investigated in multiple optical fiber segments, which work together to transfer the soliton pulse over a wide wavelength span. A triple-cladding fiber and a solid core step-index photonic crystal fiber are carefully st...
