Fiber lasers have seen progressive developments in terms of spectral coverage and
linewidth, output power, pulse energy, and ultrashort pulse width since the first …

A topical review of numerical and experimental studies of supercontinuum generation in
photonic crystal fiber is presented over the full range of experimentally reported parameters …

Spatial-and time-domain versions of the unidirectional pulse propagation equation (UPPE)
are derived and compared from the point of view of their practical application in simulations …

Over the past four years, there has been a surge of activity in the supercontinuum field since
the introduction of various types of microstructure fibers. The main reason for this great …

Since the advent of quantum mechanics and the clear demonstration of the existence
of'matter waves', physicists have never failed to take advantage of concepts and theoretical …

The guided, single-mode propagation of ultrashort optical pulses is commonly described by
a well studied and understood generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Here we …

We report a comprehensive investigation of femtosecond continuum generation in single
crystals of several common laser host materials. The absolute spectral energy density, pulse …

We report the cancellation of the soliton self-frequency shift in a silica-core photonic crystal
fiber with a negative dispersion slope. Numerical and experimental results show that …

Optical fibres have for almost three decades been fabricated of solid glass. It was, therefore,
a radical change that took place, when researchers in the late 90's started to fabricate hair …

Photonic crystal fibres exhibiting endlessly single-mode operation and dispersion zero in the
range 1040 to 1100 nm are demonstrated. A sub-ns pump source at 1064 nm generates a …
