Manipulating the Propagation of Solitons with Solid-Core Photonic Bandgap Fibers
Figure 10
(a) Measurement of the long-wavelength edge of the SC spectrum as a function of input peak power in a 10 m-long solid-core PBG fiber sample. The gray area depicts the region outside the first PBG transmission window. (b) Measured output average power over the whole SC spectrum (red squares) and by removing the output pump peak with a 1064 nm notch filter (blue squares), as a function of input peak power. Dotted lines are linear fits. The green area corresponds to input peak powers for which the SC spectral extent stops (i.e., for input peak powers greater than 1.8 kW).
