Tapering of photonic crystal fibers has proven to be an effective way of blueshifting the
dispersive wavelength edge of a supercontinuum spectrum down in the deep-blue. In this …

We provide an experimental study of the nonlinear optical effects which can be enhanced in
order to produce visible supercontinua in photonic crystal fibers. We examine individual …

We use an asymmetric 2 m draw-tower photonic crystal fiber taper to demonstrate that the
taper profile needs careful optimisation if you want to develop a supercontinuum light source …

We report the fabrication of cascaded photonic crystal fiber (PCF) tapers in monolithic
design. Flat broadband supercontinuum (SC) generation in cascaded PCF tapers pumped …

Dispersion control with axially nonuniform photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) permits
supercontinuum (SC) generation into the deep-blue from an ytterbium pump laser. In this …

We provide an overview of the progress in the field of high power continuous-wave
supercontinuum generation over the past 5years. In particular, we show how the …

Cascaded photonic crystal fiber (PCF) tapers in a monolithic fiber obtained by post-
processing techniques such as hole inflation and tapering have been manufactured. An …

We numerically study supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fibers pumped with low-
power 30-ps pulses close to the zero dispersion wavelength. We show how the efficiency is …

The nonlinear pulse broadening phenomenon of supercontinuum generation in optical
fibres is appreciated as one of the most striking in nonlinear physics. Thanks to the unique …

To consider both high-power handling and blue-extended supercontinuum (SC) generation,
a long-tapered photonic crystal fiber is pumped by a high-power laser source. An SC …
