Abstract :
The field of nonlinear optics is over forty years old, but is still fresh to our minds and currently producing novel research directives and applications. Indeed, with the advent of material engineering at the nano-scale, nonlinear optics is undergoing a new revolution. The study of high optical nonlinearity in nano material for quantum communication has generated interest in its potential use as material for photonic communication devices in future telecommunications. In this paper, we propose a novel nano-photonic quantum dots optical fiber (NQDOF) to investigate its nonlinear properties for future photonic communications. We employ both nano and photonic crystal fiber technologies in NQWOF where an InP is chosen as quantum dots in the core of optical fiber. In addition, we conduct a numerical study of nonlinear parameter for developed NQDOF using Femlab. The core of NQDOF with 6 mum in diameter and InP dots with diameter less than 10 nm exhibits waveguide properties at room temperature.
