Self-Frequency Shift in Transmission of Asymmetric Pulse in Optical Medium

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors theoretically investigate the transmission dynamics of asymmetric pulses propagating along with an optical medium in the temporal and spectral domains, and they find that the peak wavelength shift of the asymmetric pulse increases with the pulse intensity and the initial pulse chirp, together with the spectrum width.

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.

77-fs pulse generation from a stretched-pulse mode-locked all-fiber ring laser

TL;DR: By incorporating a section of large positive-dispersion fiber in an all-fiber erbium ring laser, a fully self-starting source of 77-fs pulse with 90 pJ of energy and greater than 1 kW of peak power at a 45-MHz repetition rate is obtained.
