摘要

We report on the possibilities of nanoscale optical fibers with all-normal dispersion behavior for pulse-preserving and coherent supercontinuum generation at deep ultraviolet wavelengths. We discuss the influence of important parameters such as pump wavelength and fiber diameter, for both optical nanofibers and nanoscale suspended-core optical fibers. Simulations reveal that by appropriate combination of fiber geometry and input pulse parameters, intensive spectral components well below 300 nm are generated. In addition, the impact of preceding taper transitions used for input coupling purposes is discussed in detail.
