Controllable self-frequency shift of subpicosecond soliton light pulses in a nonlinear optical fiber.

Korolev, A. E.; Kuksenkov, D. V.; Nazarov, V. N.

We experimentally demonstrated continuous tuning of the wavelength of pulses of a subpicosecond soliton laser working in the 1.55 μm spectral range during propagation in a nonlinear optical fiber. The width of the tuning band reached 250–300 nm, and the maximum wavelength of solitons at the fiber exit exceeded 1.8 μm at an average optical power of input radiation of ∼2.7 mW.
