Abstract
Recently there has been a great interest in applications where a slice of a broad optical spectrum generated by nonlinear effects in a fiber is filtered out by selecting a narrow part of the spectrum with an optical filter. Such applications are e.g., the generation of super continuum with subsequent multi-wavelength filtering to accomplish a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) source,1 or narrow filtering of a self-phase modulation (SPM) broadened signal to achieve data reshaping.
