Abstract—In this paper, we take advantage of the characteristics of similariton pulse, and the properties of normal dispersion highly nonlinear PCF for generating a spectrally flat and power continuum source. This continuum covering the C-band of optical communication window is capable of providing all the necessary channels for the efficiency of the WDM transmitter system after spectral slicing of this one by an optical demultiplexer. The generated channels are pulses trains have the same repetition rate than the initial source, where each channel is suitable to modulating by user data and then to multiplexing into a single fiber.
Index Terms—similariton pulse, continuum source, photonic crystal fiber (PCF), wavelength division multiplexing (WDM).
