Abstract

The influence of strong loss peaks on the dispersion (through the Kramers-Kronig relations) of a nonlinear waveguide is investigated theoretically. It is found specifically for degenerate four-wave mixing in a poly(methyl methacrylate) microstructured polymer optical fiber that the loss-induced dispersion significantly modifies the wavelengths for which there is phase-match. Depending on the pump wavelength, the waveguide dispersion, and the loss peaks, it is possible for the output spectrum to either be unaffected by the loss-induced dispersion modulation, or to show an increase in the efficiency of nonlinear spectral broadening, compared to the expected efficiency when ignoring the loss-induced dispersion modulation.
