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

Mathematical simulation of random coupling of polarization modes in single-mode optical fibers: IX. Zero drift in a fiber ring interferometer with a loop made of an optical fiber with strong linear birefringence
TL;DR: In this article, a simulation of random inhomogeneities in a strongly anisotropic single-mode optical fiber (SMOF) forming a loop in a fiber ring interferometer (FRI) designed according to the minimal scheme is used to obtain the dependences of an interference signal at the FRI output and the zero shift and drift of a interference pattern of counterpropagating waves on the angles of orientation of the axes of linear birefringence in an SMOF at both inputs of the FRI loop.

Supercontinuum generation with a chirped-pulse oscillator
TL;DR: This work demonstrates the generation of a high power ultrabroadband supercontinuum by coupling the uncompressed pulses from a Ti:Sapphire Chirped-pulse oscillator into a photonic crystal fibre that exhibits a highly anomalous dispersion at the centre wavelength of the laser.
