    Characteristics of supercontinuum generationin tapered fibers using femtosecond laser pulses

    Drawing single mode fibers over a flame generates tapered fibers with waist diameters of approximately 1–3 micrometers and waist lengths of up to 90 mm. We demonstrate how the profile of such tapered fibers ca...

    Intra- and extra-cavity spectral broadening and continuum generation at 1.5 μm using compact low-energy femtosecond Cr:YAG laser

    Spectral broadening mechanisms at 1.5 μm in a Kerr-lens mode-locked Cr4+:YAG laser and in a tapered silica fiber have been analyzed. It is shown theoretically and experimentally that both approaches allow generat...

    Chirp-controlled soliton fission in tapered optical fibers

    Manipulation of the input pulse chirp during supercontinuum generation in tapered fibers provides precise control of the soliton fission process taking place in the taper waist. Simulations and experiments dem...

    Manipulation of supercontinuum generation by stimulated cascaded four-wave mixing in tapered fibers

    Tailoring supercontinuum generation is important for a number of applications. Stimulated four-wave mixing in tapered optical fibers can lead to modified initial conditions for the evolution of supercontinua. ...
