Abstract

Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCFs) are optical fibers with unique guiding characteristics as well as unusual nonlinear and dispersion properties. Since PCFs offer the possibility to engineer the zero-dispersion wavelength, the dispersion curve and the nonlinear coefficient value, they are very interesting for optical parametric amplification. In the present paper the phase-matching condition has been deeply analyzed in different triangular PCFs configurations. In particular, highly nonlinear PCFs have been designed to achieve flattened dispersion curves around the zero-dispersion wavelength in the C band. Very flat parametric gain, around 16 dB, on a bandwidth up to 35nm can be obtained with short PCF and low pump power level.
