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

Analysis and design of supercontinuum pulse generation in a single-mode optical fiber
TL;DR: In this paper, a supercontinuum (SC) pulse generation in a single-mode optical fiber with a convex dispersion profile is described. And the authors present general criteria for SC generation by introducing normalized parameters that allow the shape of the SC spectrum to be invariant for several SC-generating fibers and optical pump pulses.

Nonlinear phase noise generated in air-silica microstructure fiber and its effect on carrier-envelope phase.
TL;DR: Measurements of the nonlinear phase noise that is due to amplitude-to-phase conversion in air-silica microstructure fiber that is utilized to broaden the frequency comb from a mode-locked femtosecond laser to an optical octave are presented.

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.
