| Summary: | In the near-zero negative dispersion region of highly nonlinear fiber, the process of wavelength conversion based on the mechanism of intra-pulse stimulated Raman scattering is sensitive to the parameters of pumping pulse and fiber length under the combined effects of nonlinearity and dispersion. Therefore, we experimentally demonstrate the process in detail by using conventional soliton pulses with three sets of pulse parameters and two highly nonlinear fiber lengths of 400 m and 500 m. The experimental results show that, under the combined action of dispersion and several types of nonlinear mechanisms, the wavelength conversion processes are apparently different when using pulses with different parameters to pump different lengths of highly nonlinear fibers. Specifically, the separation degree of the frequency-shifted pulse spectrum and pumping pulse spectrum, and the corresponding redshift rate and pump power consumption all show significantly different results. The experimental results can guide the selection of more suitable parameters for the pumping pulse and the length of highly nonlinear fiber to achieve a better effect of wavelength redshift or spectrum broadening for various practical applications. |
