Abstract
We demonstrate a method of generating short pulses at by exciting Čerenkov radiation in a higher-order-mode fiber with a femtosecond fiber laser. We measure a , output pulse. Čerenkov radiation in fibers allows for energy transfer between a soliton and a dispersive wave, providing an effective and engineerable platform to shift the wavelength of a femtosecond source. With appropriate design of the higher-order-mode fiber, this method of generating short pulses at can be extended to other wavelengths and to higher pulse energies.
