Ultra broadband flat dispersion tailoring on reversed-rib chalcogenide glass waveguide

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/25/11/114211

Abstract In this paper, we introduce a horizontal slot in the reversed-rib chalcogenide glass waveguide to tailor its dispersion characteristics. The waveguide exhibits a flat and low dispersion over a wavelength range of 1080 nm, in which the dispersion fluctuates between -10.6 ps·nm^-1·km^-1 and+11.14 ps·nm^-1·km^-1. The dispersion tailoring effect is due to the mode field transfer from the reversed-rib waveguide to the slot with the increase of wavelength, which results in the extension of the low dispersion band. Moreover, the nonlinear coefficient and the phase-matching condition of the four-wave mixing process in this waveguide are studied, showing that the waveguide has great potential in nonlinear optical applications over a wide wavelength range.
