Supercontinuum generation and spectrum broadening in holey fibers under femtosecond continuous laser radiation of visible and infrared ranges

摘要

Supercontinuum generation with a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser has been obtained in holey fibers one from the Bath University (Great Britain) and another from the Institute of Radioengineering and Electronics of Russian Academy of Science. Spectrum broadening of a femtosecond Cr:forsterite laser radiation (λ=1250 nm) has been observed in the same fiber samples. This work is a part of a Program of realization of a femtosecond optical synthesizer stabilized with methane optical frequency standard (λ=3390 nm).
