We numerically investigate the use of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) through dispersion engineering of its cladding containing air-holes for supercontinuum (SC) generation in the mid-infrared region using low peak power. A 3.6-cm-long PCF made using Ge11.5As24Se64.5 chalcogenide (ChG) glass with a hexagonal array of air-holes was optimized for obtaining zero-dispersion wavelength through dispersion tailoring around the pump wavelength of 4 μm. We have performed numerical simulations for such dispersion tailored ChG PCF with the peak power range between 0.25 kW and 2 kW. It was found through rigorous numerical simulations that an ultrabroadband mid-infrared SC spectra covering the wavelength range 2-8 μm which is equivalent to 2 octaves could be generated using pump pulses of 320 fs duration at a wavelength of 4 μm with a relatively low peak power of 2 kW by using our proposed ChG PCF design.
