Résumé

We study the temperature-dependent features of nonlinear pulse propagation in a water-core photonic crystal fiber, which are found to significantly impact the process of supercontinuum generation (SCG). After solving the temperature-dependent fiber parameters, we model pulse propagation with a modified nonlinear Schrodinger equation. The subsequent generated supercontinuum displays a spectral bandwidth that strongly depends on the temperature varied between 55 degrees C and 75 degrees C. This could represent an original way to tune SCG, or conversely, make the basis of a temperature sensor.
