متن کاملSupercontinuum Generation in Nonlinear Microstructured Fiber and Recent Advances
Supercontinuum (SC) is generated experimentally in nonlinear microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) which are designed and fabricated by stack and draw process. Effects of different drawing parameters on the MOF structures are studied and high air filling fraction is achieved by optimizing the drawing parameters. Different aspects of SC generation process is theoretically modeled and compared wi...
متن کاملSupercontinuum generation in large mode-area microstructured fibers.
Supercontinuum generation in large mode-area microstructured fibers is demonstrated by launching into the fiber ns pulses from a passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The special properties of these fibers open the way to compact, single-mode, high-power supercontinuum sources with a low divergence of the output beam. The nonlinear phenomena leading to the formation of the broad spectrum are also ...
