Modeling of micro-diameter-scale liquid core optical fiber filled with various liquids.

This paper gives the simulation results on micro-diameter-scale liquid core optical fiber (LCOF) filled with different kinds of liquids. The nonlinear and group velocity dispersion (GVD) properties of the microdiameter- scale LCOF are achieved. The simulation of supercontinuum generation of LCOF is also obtained. The calculations show that LOCF can provide huge nonlinear parameter and large span of slow varying GVD characteristics in the infrared region, which have potential applications in optical communications and nonlinear optics. Besides, LOCF has advantage of easy fabricating and robustness compared with silica nano-wire.
