Abstract
We investigate the propagation of femtosecond pulses in microstructured fibers under conditions in which a supercontinuum is generated. We find that higher-order dispersion primarily determines the spectral envelope and that the spectrum contains a highly complicated underlying sub-structure which is highly sensitive to input fluctuations.
