The theory of Hawking radiation can be tested in laboratory analogues of black holes. We
use light pulses in nonlinear fiber optics to establish artificial event horizons. Each pulse …

In this Letter, we demonstrate an all-fiber holmium-doped laser operating in the stretched-
pulse regime. As a result of dispersion management, the laser is capable of generating 190 …

Spatiotemporal compression of ultrashort pulses is one of the key issues of chirped pulse
amplification (CPA), the most common method to achieve high intensity laser beams …

We present broadband group velocity dispersion (GVD) measurements of commercially
available ultra-high numerical aperture fibers (UHNA1, UHNA3, UHNA4, UHNA7, and …

White-light interferometry is one of today's most precise tools for determining the properties
of optical materials. Its achievable precision and accuracy are typically limited by systematic …

We present a new approach for the development of structured optical fibers. It is shown that
fibers having an effective gradient index profile with designed refractive index distribution …

The formation of a Raman-induced temporal waveguide is demonstrated by launching short
pump and probe pulses inside a photonic crystal fiber. The pump pulse creates a …

We present a numerical study of the dispersion characteristic modification of nonlinear
photonic crystal fibers infiltrated with liquids. A photonic crystal fiber based on the soft glass …

We report on a simple spectral interferometric technique for chromatic dispersion
measurement of a short length optical fibre including the zero-dispersion wavelength. The …

We report the development of a silica glass single-mode polarization-maintaining fiber with
birefringence induced by artificial anisotropic glass in the circular core without any external …
