Coherent, polarization and temporal properties of self-frequency shifted solitons generated in polarization-maintaining microstructured fibre

Optical spectral broadening and supercontinuum generation in telecom applications

“…For utilization of continuum for frequency stabilization and optical clock development, output within the entire spectral range from ω min to ω max may be unnecessary, so continua with deep spectral gaps or those failing the condition of equidistant frequencies in unused wavelength regions will be quite acceptable. For example, this is the case of self-frequency shifted soliton generation regime; radiation spectra may meet the condition ω max /ω min > 2, but the question of its coherence remains open [123]. As far as telecom applications are concerned, the spectral flatness and temporal parameters of continuum are of a prime importance in the development of multiplexing schemes for fiber communication systems.…”

Theory of the interaction of femtosecond light pulses with matter

“…If the spectrum of a femtosecond pulse from a few oscillations at the input of the non-linear medium lies for the most part in the anomalous group dispersion range, then its propagation in the medium may be accompanied by temporal compression and the formation of extremely short optical solitons [43,[96][97][98][99][100][101][102]. Figure I.7 shows the spectrum of the extremely short breather.…”

Coherent properties of super-continuum containing clearly defined solitons

“…The present paper is, in effect, a further development of these studies, as well as of Ref. [12], which is dedicated to experimental investigation of the coherence degree of different spectral components in SC containing well-isolated solitons in its spectrum. Discovered in Ref.…”
