Soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS), a consequence of Raman self-pumping that continuously
red-shifts a soliton pulse, has been widely studied recently for applications to fiber-based …

Self-steepening of ultrashort light pulses is shown to reduce the soliton self-frequency shift
(SSFS) induced by the Raman effect in an optical fiber. We derive an analytical expression …

Experiments that produced 100-fsec pulses by a single-pass Raman amplification process
did not lead to the expected self-frequency shift induced by intrapulse Raman scattering. We …

We report the first demonstration of efficient, octave spanning soliton self-frequency shift. In
order to achieve this we used a photonic crystal fiber with reduced OH absorption and …

We demonstrate soliton self-frequency shift of more than 12% of the optical frequency in a
higher-order mode solid, silica-based fiber below 1300nm. This new class of fiber shows …

Coherent frequency conversion in compact integrated formats via guided-wave nonlinear
optics has not been shown to be power scalable to date, because single-mode waveguides …

We describe the experimental discovery of a continuous shift in the optical frequency of a
soliton pulse as it travels down the fiber. The effect is caused by a Raman self-pumping of …

Emerging applications in the mid-infrared (MIR) stimulate the growth and development of
novel optical light sources. Soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS) in soft glass fiber currently …

The generation of frequency-tunable (1.3-1.5 mu m), kilowatt, femto second pulses (< 100 fs)
through a soliton Raman process in single-mode optical fibers is described. Several …
