Abstract
In this paper, we investigated a chromatic dispersion and Brillouin gain
spectrum (BGS) control in highly nonlinear fibers (HNLFs). Downsized HNLFs
(DS-HNLFs) with specific mechanical properties are effective to realize
novel applications using a strain applied to the fibers. We experimentally
demonstrated the zero dispersion wavelength $(\lambda_{0})$ and the BGS tuning of the DS-HNLFs by the strain control
technique. In addition, the efficient stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS)
suppression was also demonstrated by the dispersion and BGS managed
downsized dispersion-decreasing HNLF. We confirmed that the efficiency of
the wavelength conversion was increased drastically by the SBS suppression,
and the maximum conversion efficiency of 1.5 dB was realized by a single
continuous-wave pump without phase modulation.
