    Compression limit by third-order dispersion in the normal dispersion regime
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2006) Demircan, Ayhan; Kroh, Marcel; Bandelow, Uwe; Hüttl, Bernd; Weber, Hans-Georg
    Broad-band continua at gigahertz rates generated in high-nonlinear dispersion flattened fibers in the normal dispersion regime near the zero-dispersion wavelength can be used for a subsequent efficient pulse compression, leading to stable high-repetition-rate trains of femtosecond pulses. We show experimentally and theoretically that third-order dispersion defines a critical power, where beyond further compression is inhibited. This fundamental limit is caused by a pulse-breakup.

    Non-Raman redshift by pulse splitting in the normal dispersion regime
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Demircan, Ayhan; Kroh, Marcel; Bandelow, Uwe
    While usually the generation of a Stokes component is attributed to Raman scattering, we present here experimentally and numerically a more fundamental mechanism which can be explained by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation alone. It can be employed to excite new frequency components on the red side, by using pulse splitting in the normal dispersion regime.
