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

Hundred-Watt-Level, All-Fiber-Integrated Supercontinuum Generation from Photonic Crystal Fiber
TL;DR: In this paper, a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) based supercontinuum source with hundred-watt-level average power output is presented, where the output delivery fiber of a 120 W MOPA laser with a 15 µm fiber core is directly spliced with a 2.6m-long PCF to form the all-fiber-integrated SC source.

Method and device for generating radiation with stabilized frequency
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for generating radiation with stabilized frequency, which comprises the steps of providing laser light pulses with a repetition frequency fR, said pulses comprising a plurality of N frequency components fn with fn = n.fr + Fo, wherein fo represents an offset frequency with n = 1,..., N, said frequency components forming a comb with first and second different frequency portions, and generating a primary light output with at least one output frequency component corresponding to the difference of frequencies of said first-and second frequency portions.

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.
