Soliton-effect compression of supercontinuum to few-cycle durations in photonic nanowires
TLDR
By exploiting the broad region of anomalous group-velocity dispersion and the large e.ective nonlinearity of photonic nanowires, soliton-e.ect self-compression of 70-fs pulses down to 6.8 fs is demonstrated.Abstract:
By exploiting the broad region of anomalous group-velocity dispersion (GVD) and the large effective nonlinearity of photonic nanowires, we demonstrate soliton-effect self-compression of 70-fs pulses down to 6.8 fs. Under suitable conditions, simulations predict that self-compression down to single-cycle duration is possible.read more

TL;DR: High-energy 20-fs pulses generated by a Ti:sapphire laser system were spectrally broadened to more than 250 nm by self-phase modulation in a hollow fiber filled with noble gases and subsequently compressed in a broadband high-throughput dispersive system, resulting in the shortest generated to date at multigigawatt peak powers.
