Nonlinear spectral-spatial control and localization of supercontinuum radiation.

چکیده
We present the first observation of spatiospectral control and localization of supercontinuum light through the nonlinear interaction of spectral components in extended periodic structures. We use an array of optical waveguides in a LiNbO3 crystal and employ the interplay between diffraction and nonlinearity to dynamically control the output spectrum of the supercontinuum radiation. This effect presents an efficient scheme for optically tunable spectral filtering of supercontinua.

Focus Serial: Frontiers of Nonlinear Optics We overview our recent results on spatio-spectral control, diffraction management, broadband switching, and self-trapping of polychromatic light in periodic photonic lattices in the form of rainbow gap solitons, polychromatic surface waves, and multigap color breathers. We show that an i...
متن کاملGeneration of supercontinuum radiation in conventional single-mode fibre and its application to broadband absorption spectroscopy
High-pulse-energy supercontinuum radiation with a width exceeding 900 nm in the near-infrared spectral region has been generated in conventional single-mode fibre. The fibre was pumped at 1064 nm which is in the normal dispersion regime, resulting in predominantly red-shifted spectral broadening. Supercontinuum pulse energies exceeding 450 nJ were obtained. The use of conventional fibre allows ...
متن کاملAdaptive femtosecond pulse shaping to control supercontinuum generation in a microstructure fiber
Efficient confinement of laser radiation in the core of a photonic crystal fiber increases the nonlinear processes resulting in supercontinuum generation. The technique of adaptive pulse shaping using an evolutionary algorithm provides a method to gain control over such highly nonlinear processes. Adaptive pulse shaping of the driving laser radiation passing through the photonic crystal fiber i...
متن کاملSurface plasmon delocalization in silver nanoparticle aggregates revealed by subdiffraction supercontinuum hot spots
The plasmonic resonances of nanostructured silver films produce exceptional surface enhancement, enabling reproducible single-molecule Raman scattering measurements. Supporting a broad range of plasmonic resonances, these disordered systems are difficult to investigate with conventional far-field spectroscopy. Here, we use nonlinear excitation spectroscopy and polarization anisotropy of single ...
متن کاملSelf-Trapping of Supercontinuum Generated by Femtosecond Pulses in a Noble Gas
INTRODUCTION. The observation of ultra-broadband supercontinuum generation in gases was first reported by Corkum et al. [1]. The possibility to produce high energy white-light continua (WLC) using ultra-short pulses has sparked interest in applications such as remote sensing in the atmosphere [2] and nonlinear spectroscopy [3]. In contrast to white-light generation in solid-state fibers, the na...
