The nonlinear propagation of coherent optical fields has been extensively explored in the
framework of nonlinear optics, while the linear propagation of incoherent fields has been …

The year 2009 marks the tenth anniversary of the first report of white-light supercontinuum
generation in photonic crystal fibre. This result had a tremendous impact on the field of …

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

High-power fiber lasers have seen tremendous development in the last decade, with output
powers exceeding multiple kilowatts from a single fiber. Ytterbium has been at the forefront …

The fiber laser, with its humble beginning in the late 1980s, has undergone tremendous
development in the past decade or so, transforming itself from a research curiosity to a major …

We report high power mid-infrared (mid-IR) supercontinuum (SC) generation in a single-
mode ZBLAN (ZrF_4-BaF_2-LaF_3-AlF_3-NaF) fiber with up to 21.8 W average output …

The advent of compact, high brightness supercontinuum radiation sources employing solid
core photonic crystal fibres is beginning to make an impact across the field of applied …

We demonstrate continuous wave supercontinuum generation extending to the visible
spectral region by pumping photonic crystal fibers at 1.07 μm with a 400 W single mode …

Abstract Mid-infrared region (2–20​ μm) is an important region of electromagnetic spectrum.
Most of the molecules including CH 4, CO, NO, NO 2, C 6 H 6, TNT, NH 3, SF 6, HNO 3 …

We study experimentally and numerically the temporal features of supercontinuum
generated with a continuous-wave ytterbium-doped fiber laser. We show that the temporal …
