Nonlinear Processing with Chalcogenide Fibers

The design principles leading to highly nonlinear chalcogenide microwires and suspended core fibers are reviewed. Nonlinear applications demonstrations of these fibers, such as wavelength conversion and far-detuned amplification, are provided. Future trends of nonlinear chalcogenide fibers are also discussed.
