Low-energy single-optical-cycle soliton self-compression in air-silica nanowires

چکیده
We investigated and optimized the process of soliton self-compression in few millimeters-long air-silica nanowires. A 100 fs prechirped input pulse was compressed to a 1.4 fs pulse by pumping at very low energy of 2.5 nJ an air-silica nanowire. More than one octave spanning coherent broadband supercontinuum extending from 260 to 1800 nm was generated. C © 2011 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

Soliton-effect compression of supercontinuum to few-cycle durations in photonic nanowires.
By exploiting the broad region of anomalous group-velocity dispersion (GVD) and the large e.ective nonlinearity of photonic nanowires, we demonstrate soliton-e.ect self-compression of 70-fs pulses down to 6.8 fs. Under suitable conditions, simulations predict that self-compression down to single-cycle duration is possible.
متن کاملMulti-millijoule few-cycle mid-infrared pulses through nonlinear self-compression in bulk
The physics of strong-field applications requires driver laser pulses that are both energetic and extremely short. Whereas optical amplifiers, laser and parametric, boost the energy, their gain bandwidth restricts the attainable pulse duration, requiring additional nonlinear spectral broadening to enable few or even single cycle compression and a corresponding peak power increase. Here we demon...
متن کاملGeneration of Self-Pulsating source based on Regenerative SPM and Realizing High- qualityPulse source
We analyze the operation of the self pulsating source based on the cascaded effects of soliton self frequency shift and SPM. The CW super continuum signal is generated based on erbium gain inside the cavity and single mode propagation of a strong Raman pump laser source through a highly nonlinear fiber. The generation occurs due to the nonlinear effects such as modulation instability and stimul...
متن کاملWavelength-tunable few-cycle optical pulses directly from an all-fiber Er-doped laser setup.
A simple design, which we believe to be the first of its kind, of an all-fiber-based optical source is proposed for the generation of widely tunable few-cycle pulses as short as 20-25 fs duration in the range of 1.6-2.1 microm. Few-cycle pulses are obtained by compression of femtosecond pulses from the erbium-doped fiber laser in a three-stage scheme that uses (i) the effects of the soliton com...
