An optical input pulse with a duration of nanosecond to femtosecond propagates through a dispersive nonlinear medium, it is subject to an extreme spectral broadening termed as white light supercontinuum (SC). In PCF, dispersion characteristics can be modified by the waveguide geometric parameters and thereby the nonlinear dynamics can be altered. In this article, the fiber parameters like core diameter, doping percentage, and pitch are varied and analyzed to achieve a conclusive zero-dispersion wavelength (ZDW) and a high nonlinearity. The numerical study presents different designs of solid-core photonic quasi-crystal fiber (PQF) and selection of highly nonlinear fiber with an effective area of 1.14 μm2 and nonlinearity of 196 W-1-km-1 at 780 nm exhibiting two-zero dispersion wavelength for supercontinuum generation in different regimes. The results exhibit a significant pulse broadening effect when the pump pulse (FWHM) was varied from 25 fs to 100 fs. Similarly, the influences of the pulse energy and peak average power on the bandwidth of the generated SC are studied. © 2019 by authors.
