Chaotic dynamics and supercontinuum generation with cosh-Gaussian pulses in photonic-crystal fibers

In this paper, we investigate broadband supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fibers using cosh-Gaussian optical pulses, which provide flatter spectrum than standard Gaussian pulses. This fact can be crucial for telecommunication systems applications. The intensive numerical study of three main telecommunication windows pointed out the most prominent window for spectral broadening. This finding offers the possibility of improving the characteristics of multi-wavelength sources and to enable wavelength density multiplexing systems.
