Supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fiber

JM Dudley, G Genty, S Coen - Reviews of modern physics, 2006 - APS
A topical review of numerical and experimental studies of supercontinuum generation in
photonic crystal fiber is presented over the full range of experimentally reported parameters …

Colloquium: Looking at a soliton through the prism of optical supercontinuum

DV Skryabin, AV Gorbach - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2010 - APS
A traditional view on solitons in optical fibers as robust particlelike structures suited for
information transmission has been significantly altered and broadened over the past decade …

Ultra-broadband Kerr microcomb through soliton spectral translation

G Moille, EF Perez, JR Stone, A Rao, X Lu… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Broadband and low-noise microresonator frequency combs (microcombs) are critical for
deployable optical frequency measurements. Here we expand the bandwidth of a …

Fiber supercontinuum sources

G Genty, S Coen, JM Dudley - JOSA B, 2007 - opg.optica.org
We review supercontinuum generation in optical fibers for particular cases where the
nonlinear spectral broadening is induced by pump radiation from fiber-format sources …

Three-dimensional light bullets in arrays of waveguides

S Minardi, F Eilenberger, YV Kartashov, A Szameit… - Physical review …, 2010 - APS
We report the first experimental observation of three-dimensional light bullets, excited by
femtosecond pulses in a system featuring quasi-instantaneous cubic nonlinearity and a …

Soliton molecules with two frequencies

O Melchert, S Willms, S Bose, A Yulin, B Roth… - Physical Review Letters, 2019 - APS
We demonstrate a peculiar mechanism for the formation of bound states of light pulses of
substantially different optical frequencies, in which pulses are strongly bound across a vast …

Nonlinear optics of fibre event horizons

KE Webb, M Erkintalo, Y Xu, NGR Broderick… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
The nonlinear interaction of light in an optical fibre can mimic the physics at an event
horizon. This analogue arises when a weak probe wave is unable to pass through an …

Cascaded phase matching and nonlinear symmetry breaking in fiber frequency combs

M Erkintalo, YQ Xu, SG Murdoch, JM Dudley, G Genty - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
We report theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies of cascaded phase matching in
fiber frequency combs and show how this mechanism is directly connected to the dynamics …

Front-induced transitions

MA Gaafar, T Baba, M Eich, AY Petrov - Nature Photonics, 2019 - nature.com
Refractive index fronts propagating in waveguides are special spatiotemporal perturbations.
The interaction of light with such fronts can be described in terms of an indirect transition …

Interaction of an optical soliton with a dispersive wave

A Efimov, AV Yulin, DV Skryabin, JC Knight, N Joly… - Physical review …, 2005 - APS
Scattering of a dispersive wave by optical solitons is studied experimentally in photonic
crystal fibers in cases when the soliton and the dispersive wave have either identical or …
