Nonlinear propagation of intense femtosecond laser pulses in bulk transparent media leads
to a specific propagation regime, termed femtosecond filamentation, which in turn produces …

An overview of the progress on pulse-preserving, coherent, nonlinear fiber-based
supercontinuum generation is presented. The context encompasses various wavelength …

We present spectral measurements that uncover the detailed dynamics of the
supercontinuum generation in fused silica, YAG, and LiF crystals when pumped with 100 fs …

Low propagation loss Ge_23Sb_7S_70 waveguides (0.56 dB/cm) are fabricated in a wafer
