Characteristics of supercontinuum generationin tapered fibers using femtosecond laser pulses

Excitonic properties of single CdSe nanowires and coupling to plasmonic nanocavities

“…6. A spatially coherent white light source [48] was strongly focussed through a prism on the NW tip by a long working distance microscope objective. The light was collected trough a second microscope objective with high numerical aperture and diverted to an imaging CCD or a spectrometer.…”

Optical spectral broadening and supercontinuum generation in telecom applications

“…At the present time, a quantitative agreement between experimental and numerical simulation results of CG is rather an exception than the norm. Furthermore, in the recent publications on CG both with pulsed [96,116] and CW [112] pumps, the authors pointed out some qualitative discrepancies between experimental results and theoretical predictions. Many questions remain unanswered, and the great potential for further improvement of our understanding of these remarkable scientific problems, along with the impressive range of interesting practical applications of SC are the main factors that make the field so exciting and attractive.…”

“…However, at the present phase of CG studies papers of another sort are more common. They are dedicated to the investigation of different properties of continuum radiation, such as spectral shape and width [28,74,96,[116][117][118], temporal structure [13,25,116,[118][119][120], polarization [1,96,121], noise and coherence [20,25,51,96], as well as to research into dependence of these properties on conditions of CG. Aside from this, a considerable number of papers seek to understand physical mechanisms of spectral broadening [1,13,[100][101][102][103]107,122].…”

Infrared and terahertz generation by ultrafast laser pulses

“…The supercontinuum output from the optical fiber is collimated by a fiber U bench and is transmitted through a long-pass filter and a chemical, then, refocused into an optical fiber connected to the OSA. Figures 2 (a) and (b) show the previous reported near-IR absorption spectrum of Chloroform [7] and measured spectrum from the OSA, respectively. The absorption peaks of Chloroform at 1.15 µm and 1.41 µm are clearly visible in the measured spectrum by our setup.…”
