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

Discovery of Soliton Self-Mode Conversion in Multimode Optical Fibers.
TL;DR: In this paper, a self-action effect, originating from quantum noise, was found to complete nonlinear optical conversion of an ultrashort soliton pulse between two distinct, spatially coherent eigenmodes that are frequency-separated by one Raman Stokes shift.

Applications of optical cavities in modern atomic, molecular, and optical physics
Jun Ye,T. W. Lynn +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss applications of optical cavities in modern atomic, molecular, and optical physics, and explore exploration of quantum dynamics associated with the enhanced interaction between atoms and cavity field; where the structure of the cavity enables a large field amplitude associated with single intracavity photons.

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.
