Spectral-Shape-Controllable Supercontinuum Generation in Microstructured Fibers Using Adaptive Pulse Shaping Technique

Few-cycle fiber pulse compression and evolution of negative resonant radiation

“…Having said that, the frequency chirp of the input pulse can lead to a delay of nonlinear pulse evolution. The dependence on chirp of various aspects of pulse evolution have been considered previously including the effect on supercontinuum generation [26][27][28][29] and spectral broadening [30,31]. In the latter two papers the influence of chirp on spectral broadening was investigated numerically and experimentally for (50 fs) pulses.…”

Adaptively controlled supercontinuum pulse from a microstructure fiber for two-photon excited fluorescence microscopy

“…We demonstrated the energy concentration into a specific spectral region with higher supercontinuum powers up to 20 mW. 20 At higher input energies, the spectral energy at approximately the 800 nm excitation pulse is still strong. Therefore, for practical use, it may be necessary to filter out the 800 nm components.…”

“…The supercontinuum spectra generated with MSFs are changed by the spectral phase modulation of the input laser pulse. [17][18][19][20] In our previous study, we showed that any regions of the continuum spectral power can be enhanced by employing a computer controlled optimization loop. 20 In this paper we demonstrated selective two-photon excitation of fluorescent proteins by adaptively shaping the supercontinuum spectrum generated from MSFs.…”

Optical spectral broadening and supercontinuum generation in telecom applications

“…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].…”
