摘要: Self-phase-modulation-induced spectral broadening of laser pulses in air-guided modes hollow photonic-crystal fibers (PCFs) is shown to allow the creation fiber-optic limiters for high-intensity ultrashort pulses. The performance PCF analyzed terms elementary theory self-phase modulation. Experiments performed with 100 fs microjoule 800 nm Ti:sapphire radiation demonstrate potential PCFs as 10 MW and show possibility switch limiting level output energy by guiding femtosecond different modes.
