Abstract

We demonstrate low-threshold supercontinuum generated in a highly nonlinear arsenic selenide chalcogenide nanowire with tailored dispersion. The tapered submicrometer chalcogenide fiber exhibits an ultrahigh nonlinearity, n21.1×1017m2W and an effective mode area of 0.48μm2, yielding an effective nonlinearity of γ93.4Wm, which is over 80,000 times larger than standard silica single-mode fiber at a wavelength of 1550nm. This high nonlinearity, in conjunction with the engineered anomalous dispersion, enables low-threshold soliton fission leading to large spectral broadening at a dramatically reduced peak power of several watts, corresponding to picojoule energy.
