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

Continuous-wave wavelength conversion in a photonic crystal fiber with two zero-dispersion wavelengths
T.V. Andersen,Karen Marie Hilligsøe,Carsten Krogh Nielsen,Jan Thøgersen,Kim P. Hansen,Søren Rud Keiding,Jakob Juul Larsen +6 more
TL;DR: Continuous-wave wavelength conversion through four-wave mixing in an endlessly single mode photonic crystal fiber is demonstrated and phasematching is possible at vanishing pump power in the anomalous dispersion regime between the two zero-dispersion wavelengths.

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.
