This review begins with an historical introduction to the field of nonlinear fiber optics and
then focuses on the propagation of short optical pulses inside optical fibers. The underlying …

Nonlinear fiber optics concerns with the nonlinear optical phenomena occurring inside
optical fibers. Although the field ofnonlinear optics traces its beginning to 1961, when a ruby …

We study the largely unexplored transition between coherent and noise-seeded incoherent
continuum generation in all-normal dispersion (ANDi) fibers and show that highly coherent …

We investigate the generation mechanisms for ultra-wide spectra in nonlinear optical fibers.
Soliton fission and modulation instability represent fundamental mechanisms for the …

We show in theory and simulation that the supercontinuum generation from an initial
continuous wave field in a highly nonlinear fiber operating near the zero-dispersion point …

We have carried out a detailed experimental study of the behavior of 200-fs pulses in highly
nonlinear photonic crystal fiber to elucidate the mechanisms for supercontinuum generation …

We report the analysis of ultrawideband supercontinuum generation in a highly nonlinear
dispersion-shifted fiber. A> 1000-nm-spanning white-light continuum is generated by …

The optical fiber based supercontinuum source has recently become a significant scientific
and commercial success, with applications ranging from frequency comb production to …

Supercontinuum (SC) growth in highly nonlinear fibers is compared for cw pumping in the
anomalous-and normal-dispersion regimes. For anomalous-dispersion pumping, the …

The conversion of light fields in photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) capitalizes on the dramatic
enhancement of several optical nonlinearities. We present here spectrally smooth, highly …
