Visible continuum generation in air–silica microstructure optical fibers with anomalous dispersion at 800 nm
TLDR
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.Abstract:
We demonstrate experimentally for what is to our knowledge the first time that air–silica microstructure optical fibers can exhibit anomalous dispersion at visible wavelengths. We exploit this feature to generate an optical continuum 550 THz in width, extending from the violet to the infrared, by propagating pulses of 100-fs duration and kilowatt peak powers through a microstructure fiber near the zero-dispersion wavelength.read more

TL;DR: A polarized all-normal dispersion supercontinuum generated in a birefringent silica microstructured fiber spanning beyond 2.5 µm is demonstrated, which is to the authors' knowledge, the spectra reaching the furthest in mid-infrared ever generated in normal dispersion silica fibers.

TL;DR: In this paper, a selection of recent advances in supercontinuum (SC) generation in a range of specialty optical fibers, including fluoride, chalcogenide, telluride, and silicon-core fibers for the mid-infrared (MIR) region and in the ultraviolet (UV) down to 100 nm, were reviewed.

TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of spectral and temporal profiles of 4.5 optical-cycle pulses propagating near zero-dispersion wavelength (ZDW) in a photonic crystal fiber is investigated experimentally and theoretically beyond the slowly varying-envelope approximation.

Endlessly single-mode photonic crystal fiber.
TL;DR: An effective-index model confirms that an all-silica optical fiber made by embedding a central core in a two-dimensional photonic crystal with a micrometer-spaced hexagonal array of air holes can be single mode for any wavelength.

Discovery of the soliton self-frequency shift.
TL;DR: The experimental discovery of a continuous shift in the optical frequency of a soliton pulse as it travels down the fiber is described, caused by a Raman self-pumping of the soliton.
