Abstract
Recently, photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) have manifested themselves as efficient sources of supercontinuum (SC) radiation when pumped with short pulses of IR laser light.1 Different nonlinear optical processes responsible for the generation of SC have been identified.2,3 We have experimentally investigated the influence of the zero-dispersion wavelength on the SC generation and give here a qualitative analysis for the observed phenomena.
