Dependence of structure on SBS slow light in double-clad As2Se3 chalcogenide photonic crystal fibers

A novel double-clad As2Se3 chalcogenide photonic crystal fiber is proposed and the slow light via stimulated Brillouin scattering is theoretically investigated. The Brillouin gain spectrum by taking into account the high-order acoustic modes is analyzed. The simulated results indicate that the slow light can be tuned by varying the air filling fraction in the inner cladding. The time delay upto 1120ns can be achieved with 1-m-long fiber when pumped with 10mW. But these features of slow light are less affected with the change of the air filling fraction in the outer cladding.
