Abstract

We propose a novel design of a photonic crystal fiber made of praseodymium (Pr3+)-doped chalcogenide glass with single mode operation beyond 4 μm . Our design has an enlarged Pr3+-doped core diameter of 60 μm . The field area of the emitted fundamental mode is about 3160 μm2 at 4.5 μm and 2050 μm2 a...
