The frequency shift of the generated sidebands, which arise from modulation instability, depends strongly on the detuning of the pump from the fiber's zero-dispersion wavelength. Over 30 nm of sideband tunability has been demonstrated using a 300 mW cw pump, and over 185 nm of tunability using a 1.6 W quasi-cw pump. Continuous wave and quasi-cw pumps eliminate the detrimental effects of pump-sideband walk-off. In the absence of walk-off it is the fluctuations in the index profile of the photonic-crystal fiber along its length that limit the tunable sideband range.}, date = {(2005)}, location = {http: / / www. opticsinfobase. org / abstract. cfm?}, keywords = {Fiber_optics Nonlinear_optics div3 fibers optical_communications } }
