Broadband light generation at approximately 1300 nm through spectrally recoiled solitons and dispersive waves.
We experimentally study the generation of broadband light at approximately 1300 nm from an 810 nm Ti:sapphire femtosecond pump laser. We use two photonic crystal fibers with a second infrared zero-dispersion wavelength (lambda Z2) and compare the efficiency of two schemes: in one fiber lambda Z2=1400 nm and the light at 1300 nm is composed of spectrally recoiled solitons; in the other fiber lambda Z2=1200 nm and the light at 1300 nm is composed of dispersive waves.
