Enhancement of nonlinear optical interactions in the core a photonic-crystal fiber allows several χ(3) processes to be simultaneously observed field unamplified 30-fs pulses Cr:forsterite laser. Subnanojoule fundamental-radiation this laser experience spectral broadening arising from self-phase modulation and generate third harmonic at 410–420 nm. Third-harmonic also appear spectrally broadened output as result cross-phase-modulation effect. This catalog enhanced fibers opens way for using...
Supercontinuum emission is generated by the propagation of frequency-tunable femtosecond pulses 1.1–1.5-µm radiation an optical parametric amplifier through a photonic-crystal fiber. Nearly octave's spectral broadening was observed when laser with duration 80–100 fs and energy several nanojoules per pulse were coupled into fiber core radius 1.5–3 µm.

The influence of cross-phase modulation on third-harmonic generation is theoretically studied. Generalized phase-matching conditions for including pump-intensity-dependent phase shifts related to self- and effects are discussed. mismatch between the pump pulses shown vary from leading edge pulse its trailing edge, resulting in an asymmetric spectral broadening third harmonic.
Abstract The possibilities of using chirped pulses and broad beams for single‐shot measurements in coherent four‐wave mixing (FWM) are examined. idea such is based on the fact that define a linear transform, mapping difference between instantaneous frequencies pump to delay time these pulses. This can be then mapped onto spatial coordinate with use broad‐beam FWM geometry. We consider various modifications chirped‐pulse techniques, including degenerate non‐degenerate mixing, anti‐Stokes...
Supercontinuum generation in microstructure fibers with a core the form of cyclic polyatomic photonic molecule is studied. Air holes arranged two-dimensional holey structure cladding this fiber and larger hole at center cyclic-molecule-like structure, consisting an array small-diameter glass channels linked by narrow bridges, around central hole. This photonic-molecule microstructure-integrated bundle can guide light through total internal reflection, providing very high confinement degree...
We propose new schemes of high-resolution coherent four-photon spectroscopy where chirped pulses are employed for the Raman excitation a nonlinear medium. The use linearly in anti-Stokes scattering allows spectra susceptibility to be studied with terahertz resolution by measuring intensity signal emerging from four-wave mixing as function delay time between pump pulses. This approach can also single-pulse susceptibility.
In the context of designing a three-dimensional optical-memory device, we investigate cross section two-photon absorption photochromic material as function relative orientation polarization vectors light waves involved in data writing. It is demonstrated that, with an appropriate choice writing laser waves, one can considerably increase efficiency

Cross‐correlation measurements, intended visualize group‐delay effects the performed with picosecond Nd : YAG laser pulses, also measured dependence CARS efficiency on thickness layer, indicate that enhancement under these...
High-order harmonic generation in a hollow fiber filled with weakly ionizing gas is theoretically analyzed within the framework of slowly varying envelope approximation. The pressure that corresponds to maximum efficiency frequency conversion, absorption coefficient, phase mismatch owing dispersion, and enhancement harmonic-generation waveguide matching are estimated for 27th-harmonic fibers helium, neon, argon, krypton, or xenon.
