Abstract

Abstract Chalcogenide suspended core fibers are considered as an excellent candidates for several applications in near-and-mid IR applications because of their characteristics of higher linearity and nonlinearity. In this paper, the influence of the fiber structure and host glass on dispersion and nonlinear properties, including the core size and the width of the bridge, especially the shape of the fiber core were analyzed with the finite element method in detail. And then, the optimized structure of SCFs made of As2S3, Ge20Sb5Se75, As2Se3, Ge15As15Se17Te5, which stand for the typical samples of S-based, Se-based and Te-based chalcogenide glasses, have been adopted to get suitable dispersion properties and highest nonlinear optical properties in all kinds of glasses.
