Comb Fiber Design and HDF5 Data Handling in Python within OptiSystem
The project involves designing a novel optical fiber with specific dispersion properties for advanced laser applications, while also developing supporting software tools for OptiWave’s simulation platform. The fiber design focuses on achieving two special wavelengths where dispersion cancels out, with carefully controlled behavior between them. This configuration is useful for generating stable frequency combs in telecommunications and sensing applications. This requires optimizing the fiber’s internal structure using multiple layers of doped glass to shape how light propagates through it. Alongside the fiber design work, Python-based tools will be created to automate complex simulation setups within OptiWave’s software, making it easier for engineers to model similar advanced fiber designs. The expected benefit to OptiWave is two-fold: a fiber architecture that a collaborator has requested, and software improvements that make their platform more efficient and attractive to researchers working on next-generation photonics.
