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

Absolute frequency measurement of acetylene transitions in the region of 1540 nm
TL;DR: In this article, an optical frequency comb has been used to measure the frequency of a diode laser system, locked to the P(10, P(11), P(15), P16, P20, and P(21) transitions in the ν1+ν3 overtone band of 13C2H2.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used two photonic crystal fibers with a second infrared zero-dispersion wavelength (λZ2) and compared the efficiency of two schemes: in one fiber λZ2=1400 nm and the light at 1300 nm is composed of spectrally recoiled solitons; in the other fiber ρ 2 = 1200 nm and dispersive waves.

TL;DR: An air-hole-modified-core PCF with appropriate dispersion and nonlinearity parameters is shown to provide efficient four-wave mixing, giving rise to Stokes and anti-Stokes sidebands whose frequency shift relative to the pump wavelength falls within the subpetahertz range, thus offering an attractive source for nonlinear Raman microspectroscopy.

Single-mode microstructured optical fiber for the middle infrared.
TL;DR: Both experimental and theoretical evidences are presented to establish that the fiber is effectively single mode at wavelength 10.6 micro m with numerical aperture NA=0.16 and optical losses of approximately 2 dB/m.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructure‐fiber frequency converters
TL;DR: In this paper, a waveguide channel with multiple micron and sub-micron fused silica waveguide channels is used for anti-Stokes frequency conversion, allowing the creation of new sources of tunable radiation for applications in spectroscopy, photochemistry, optical metrology, photobiology and biomedicine.

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.
