Visible continuum generation in air–silica microstructure optical fibers with anomalous dispersion at 800 nm

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate experimentally that air-silica microstructure optical fibers can exhibit anomalous dispersion at visible wavelengths, and exploit this feature to generate an optical continuum 550 THz in width, extending from the violet to the infrared.
