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

Optimization of supercontinuum generation in air-silica nanowires
TL;DR: In this article, an effective hybrid GA for optimizing air-silica nanowires, the incident pulse, and supercontinuum (SC) generation is proposed, and the optimized spectrum becomes smoother from 740 to 1500 nm and is broadened by 300 nm.
Study of nonlinear optical effects in silicon waveguides
TL;DR: In this paper, optical properties of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguides are investigated with an emphasis on the third-order nonlinearities of silicon waveguide.

TL;DR: It is shown that CemOrange2 fusion proteins could be used to: 1) monitor biological pathways, 2) multiplex with other fluorescent proteins to determine colocalization and 3) gain phenotypic knowledge of a human ABCA3 orthologue, ABT-4, trafficking variant in the C. elegans model organism.

Broadband supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fibers using cosh-Gaussian pulses at 835nm wavelength
TL;DR: In this article, a broadband supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fibers employing cosh-Gaussian pulses is presented. But, unlike the spectra created by Gaussian pulses, which consists of two distinct minima, the super-continuum spectra generated by Cosh-Gaumann pulses of equal peak power and pulse duration characterized by virtually flat and broadband super continuoustime.

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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report measurements of frequency broadening due to self-phase modulation (SPM) in optical fibers, using single-mode silica-core fibers and mode-locked argon-laser pulses.

Group-velocity dispersion in photonic crystal fibers.
TL;DR: The dispersion properties of photonic crystal fibers are calculated by expression of the modal field as a sum of localized orthogonal functions to derive uniform dispersion values for single mode and double mode fibers.

Slab-coupled waveguides
TL;DR: The slab-coupled waveguide is a multidielectric waveguide that includes such special cases as the single-material fiber, the rib waveguide, and the strip-loaded film guide as mentioned in this paper.
