Abstract

Air-microstructurcd fibers have unique wave-guiding and dispersive properties that allow for white light continuum generation over short propagation lengths.¹ By virtue of their small core diameters (~1-2 μm), high peak powers are easily achievable with femtosecond pulses. The contributions of material and modal dispersion yield zero group velocity dispersion (GVD) at 800 nm, ideally suited to Ti:sapphire lasers. Finally, the effective mode diameter varies with wavelength in such a way that single mode propagation occurs over the entire visible and near infrared spectrum.
