Abstract
Air-microstructured fibers have waveguiding and dispersion properties that make them a unique laboratory for investigating nonlinear optical phenomena using low power optical pulses. One of the most dramatic nonlinear processes afforded by microstructured fibers is supercontinuum generation [1]. The capability of generating broadband, coherent continuum using low power laser sources has applications in frequency combs for high precision frequency metrology [2] and in optical coherence tomography [3].
