Generation and Stability Analysis of Self Similar Pulses Through Specialty Microstructured Optical Fibers in Mid Infrared Regime

We report a numerical study on generation and stability of parabolic pulses during their propagation through highly nonlinear specialty optical fibers. Here, we have generated a parabolic pulse at 2.1 $μ$m wavelength from a Gaussian input pulse with 1.9 ps FWHM and 75 W peak power after travelling through only 20 cm length of a chalcogenide glass based microstructured optical fiber (MOF). Dependence on input pulse shapes towards most efficient conversion into self similar states is reported. The stability in terms of any deviation from dissipative self-similar nature of such pulses has been analyzed by introducing a variable longitudinal loss profile within the spectral loss window of the MOF, and detailed pulse shapes are captured. Moreover, three different dispersion regimes of propagation have been considered to study the suitability to support most stable propagation of the pulse.
