Setting an Upper-Wavelength Limit to the Supercontinuum Generated in a Photonic Crystal Fibre
Abstract
We report about a novel kind of supercontinuum generation in a photonic crystal fibre in which the spectral broadening occurs only on the blue side of the pump wavelength. As a consequence a limit to the extent of the supercontinuum is set and thus a way for tailoring the broadened spectrum according to a peculiar application is provided. We present a theoretical explanation along with experimental data which are supported by the results of a set of numerical simulations.
