(a) Calculated GVD curve of one of a cladding node of the Kagome PCF. (b) Phase-matching curve. The lower line (0.059 nJ pulse energy) and the upper line (0.59 nJ pulse energy) intersect with the dispersion curve at the phase-matching wavelengths of 440 nm and 430 nm, respectively. (c) Simulation results of output spectra at different input pulse energies with an unchirped pump pulse. (d) Simulation results of output spectra at different chirp parameters with an input pulse energy of 0.28 nJ. The duration of the unchirped pulse is 20 fs. The intensity is normalized to the maximum value for each input pulse energy or chirp parameter.
